The final week of the 2023 college football season is here and for the most part, the majority of those eligible for the postseason are already known. That being said, in the Big Ten and across the country there will be plenty of teams fighting for their postseason lives with 24 programs looking to achieve bowl eligibility this weekend by picking up their sixth win.
Nebraska is one of those 24 teams, entering the weekend with a 5-6 record while enduring a three-game losing streak. After entering November looking like they had a chance to not just win six games but potentially win seven or eight, the Huskers have dropped three straight to Michigan State, Maryland, and Wisconsin.
Now, Matt Rhule’s program will have to knock off No. 17 Iowa and their stout defense on Friday afternoon in Lincoln to get to bowl eligibility.
Below, CornhuskersWire takes a look at bowl projections from several outlets for the Huskers and the rest of the Big Ten.
