Think we can take Minnesota; the others would be mildly surprising. Good question here, Phat. You could make the case for either option.

I would be pretty surprised if we beat Michigan or USC but none of the others are guaranteed to score much, making them each toss-up games.

I watched the Minn/Nebraska game on TV. It should be a low scoring affair when we play them. The Gopher D is really good and aggressive though, so our o line better have a great game, along with Stone. They have their hogs on the o line and play smash mouth football like old school B1G. If we cannot beat the Gophers our bowl odds will be slim. I can see us beating Nebraska and Illinois though, so us going bowling, I have it at even odds. We need the offense to rise to the occasion. The defense is doing there part.

Sounds like what I've said about the Bears pretty much every year since 1963.

If we only beat Nebraska and that was the last win of the regular season, that would mean we lose four straight to end the regular season. If it were a choice, I would take the chance.

A bird in the hand.... take the 6th win. No shame in losing any of our last games, especially considering the Wrigley curse!
