Kind of funny (and strange) that the only bowls even on table are ones that Rutgers has already played in (Detroit, Birmingham and Phoenix). My guess is that it's going to be Detroit if we somehow get to 6 wins. That obviously looks extremely unlikely right now given that our defense can't stop anyone and morale is in the toilet.

What a disappointing season and a lesson for all who thought 8 wins was some sort of guarantee.
 
Sadly I no longer expect a bowl like alot of prognosticators. My hope is I'm wrong. Then we can all happily watch a 13th game.

Hope springs eternal, and I have seen many weird years. I hope this Rutgers season quasi resembles the Giants 1994 season. Now that Giant team started 3-0, then proceeded to lose 7 straight games, before finishing the year by going 6-0. The reason I typed quasi is because that team missed the playoffs at 9-7, they beat too many AFC teams. I hope we not only make, but win a bowl game!
 
I’d still rather get two more wins and go to a bowl than lose eight straight or seven of eight to close the season. And before anyone lectures me on this as happened in another thread, save it, I don’t care.

Good points. You can also point to our 2008 team, but that team had more talent than this one.

From that which I have seen,I do not expect RU to win another game.And considering how long I have been anRU fan that was not easy for me to say

Just hoping that final MSU game means something, perfect world it's going for the 8th or 7th win. But even 6th win would be great. My son was texting me how he can't wait to be home from college and we're watching a marathon of RU sports for football and MBB that Saturday after Thanksgiving. Watching sports with my son is always great but would by nice if that MSU game was not just for a 5th win.
