This B1G West has me dreaming of a bowl game!

Illinois squeezed past FAU.
Iowa got shut out.
Purdue ain’t any good and is a home game.

And a Howard win will count.

There’s some reason to watch! That’s very exciting.

5 wins should get us to a bowl game with us likely to have the highest APR of the 5-7 teams and 82 total slots.

Nebraska game should tell us a lot about whether it's possible.

Re APR, are we hurt by all the transfers?

May hurt us next year (though I believe rules were changed in 2021 to alleviate that issue).

Current year bowl priority goes off previous year calculation and we're tied for #1 with Wisconsin in the 2022 APR rankings that would be used and that were released in June.

So yeah 5 wins should be enough as long as there aren't 82 bowl eligible 6 win teams.
