Rutgers could still make a bowl even if it doesn't reach six wins. Here's how.
At the outset of each college football season, every team has the lofty dream of winning it all, imagining hoisting the College Football Playoff trophy, standing atop the college football world.
Of course, after a few weeks and a couple losses, most teams will readjust their goals, maybe setting their sights on a division or conference championship, which is still within reach.
Following a couple more losses that make a national or conference championship an improbability, teams will embark on a mission to reach the six-win total needed to become bowl eligible, and play in the postseason.
