Well, you could have a major scandal in which OSU, Mich, PSU and MD are forced to forfeit all their wins. 

BUT seriously maybe we should start with baby steps.  Let's see if Rutgers can beat Nebraska this week.  If they do that, we can talk again next week.

Agreed, baby steps. These next two games are key for Rutgers' bowl hopes.

Rutgers had a solid OOC going 3-0 with two road wins including one over a P5 opponent (BC). They've lost their last two to drop to 3-2/0-2 but they've played Iowa which probably has the best defense in the league and Ohio State which probably has the best offense in the league. Over the next three weeks they play two of the worst teams in the league (UNL and IU) wrapped around a week off. Additionally, their next two games are both at home.

If the Scarlet Knights can sweep the Cornhuskers and Hoosiers they'll improve to 5-2/2-2 with a reeling MSU still remaining on the schedule. They would have, IMHO, a better than even chance of finishing .500.

If they lose even one of the next two they'll need to beat MSU AND pull off what would be a rather shocking upset of either MN, M, PSU, or UMD.

if they can't sweep those two bad teams, they've got no business playing in a bowl game
combines 23 penalties for over 200 yards

They would need to win out of course and for OSU to lose 3 games in conference.
Plus everyone else would have to lose twice.

Once, Rutgers winning out takes care of the other one.

Yup, they win out, OSU has to lose three, and everyone else at least two.  The odds look low to me.
