Those 3 teams we happen to play all just once. @NW and @Nebraska are games we just have to get because all the rest of the 6 true road games are going to be tough sledding. Winning those 2, at least gives us the opportunity to get all the critical tipping point games at home. 7-2 at home is manageable, but 8 is really pushing it. That leaves the Penn St. game as a bit of a wildcard (currently a coinflip according to BPI/matchup predictor), but 9-11 Big Ten should probably get us on the right side of the bubble because a couple more quality home games would be in that 7-2 to add to what we already have.
