per Greder:
The first College Football Playoff ranking will be unveiled Tuesday night. The certain absence of the Gophers, of course, won’t be trending or a talking point.
While Minnesota held the 25th and final spot for a few weeks on committee’s first ranking in 2014, they haven’t appeared since. That won’t change as coach P.J. Fleck’s first Gophers team has lost four of five games in Big Ten play to fall to 4-4 overall.
But when could it happen?
After the 17-10 loss to Iowa on Saturday, Fleck shared the pain of losing his first rivalry game while sitting in front of a blue wall in the bowels of Kinnick Stadium. A more-fitting backdrop would have been a TV green screen where he could have outlined his forecast like a meteorologist.
“I think there are a ton of signs when you look at this game and you look at the last few games, and you look at where we are headed and what we have, the future is incredibly bright,” Fleck said.
“By ’19, I will be able to fix the issues, but we will be young,” Fleck said Monday. “We will be older with some youth, developing depth, creating depth. Then when you hit ’20, that’s when you see a spike in, ‘Holy cow, they’re good. They’re deep, and they are becoming experienced. Wow.’ Then ’21, it’s, ‘Oh my gosh.’ Then you start reloading instead of rebuilding.”
