Realistic Potential Bowl Destinations for IU: 
At this point in the season, the best record IU fans can realistically dream about is 8-4 (with the fourth loss coming at Michigan). Going 8-4 is unlikely but it’s not an absurd proposition. So, the possible destinations for IU appear to be: the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, the Music City Bowl in Nashville, the Foster Farms Bowl in Santa Clara, the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit and the Heart of Dallas Bowl in Dallas.
