Although they haven't exactly won in convincing fashion the last two weeks against Penn State and Purdue -- and have dropped to No. 20 in the College Football Playoff rankings -- Northwestern is 8-2 and still has an outside shot at a New Years' Six bowl, should the Wildcats win out and get a lot of breaks to fall their way in the final weeks of the season. But, as unlikely as that occurrence is, Northwestern should be able to find itself in a decent bowl against a good power-conference opponent in a month and a half.
