Ugh another pessimistic thread. I'm tired the negativity, there's 7 wins still on the table.
Whatever, Debbie Downer! There's eight wins on the table!!!
We'll play a bowl game if we win our next seven.

Listen, if being a fan is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.There are still 6 opportunities for people to make threads like these a day or two following the next loss
Put down the tomatoes, don’t throw them at me. I drank the koolaide by the gallon this summer and still have some leftovers in my fridge that I sneak off and drink sometimes. I love this coach, and each week I love this team more and more. So hear me out. Even I’ll conceed that OSU outclasses us enough at this point in the season that we probably can’t compete this year. But that’s not true for the other 6. It’s going to take injury luck and continued improvement each week. But if we can find a way to snag a win this weekend, take one game at a time, view it as championship weekend every week with a bowl game up for grabs, it could happen still. If we can beat NW, then we should be able to matchup with the likes of Minnesota and Iowa as well. Bethune and Illinois are the easiest W’s left, obviously, so if we can keep focus and not pull the traditional “NU forgets to show up,” thing, those go our way. That leaves MSU, which haven’t looked unstoppable imo. If you can find a way to play that game above you heads a bit, again, knowing the postseason lies on the other side, it’s not unreasonable. This weekend is huge. May be the last great chance at gigantic direction change for 2018.
ST looked immediately better with a Punter. That is one reason to be optimistic about ST going forward.Michigan State look pretty uninspired this season and is beatable.
Basically if we have 500 yards of offense like we've had three times this season, don't have offensive penalties that stall drives, and improve on special teams yes, we could win six.
Even if we did win 6 games would we still be bowl eligible with BCC being an FCS team?
