It is a narrow path, but here’s what has to happen for the Gophers to get into a bowl with a 5-7 record

There’s a fairly significant holiday in the middle of this week and so I’m writing this earlier, rather than later, in the week.

Can the Gophers get into a bowl with a 5-7 record? While it remains a possibility, it is not going to be easy.

As it stands there are 70 bowl eligible teams to fill 78 spots. So eight spots remain for 21 teams that could still get themselves to 6 wins. That seems daunting, but let’s narrow that list of 21 down a little bit.

  • 4 teams have two games remaining and have to go 2-0.
