Athlon first out of the gate:
South Dakota State at Minnesota (Thursday)
South Dakota State opens the campaign ranked third in Athlon's FCS Preseason Power Poll, so this is a dangerous matchup for Minnesota. After winning four out of their last six games in 2018, the Golden Gophers are a trendy sleeper pick to win the Big Ten West Division. Receiver Tyler Johnson might be one of the most underrated players in college football, but quarterback play is under the spotlight after Zack Annexstad was lost for the year, giving the starting job back to Tanner Morgan.
Prediction: Minnesota
