I would classify putting Indiana in the 2 spot as a surprise as well for a Purdue Blog.

8. Minnesota​

I often use this space to dunk on Minnesota, but today I want to take the time to talk about how its utter BULLSHIT that Minnesota is now the type of program that is getting blue-chip recruits from out of state to TRANSFER to crappy public schools in the Minneapolis suburbs.

We’re talking about MINNESOTA. The team that hasn’t beaten Iowa in almost a decade. A team who’s crowning achievement of the Fleck era is winning the Outback Bowl, which only had the opportunity to do so because Iowa had been to Tampa nine of the 11 years prior. A program that followed up a win over No. 4 Penn State in that Outback season of destiny, with a loss to... 6-3 IOWA.

But enjoy Eden Prairie, Trey Bixby! That suburb has gone downhill ever since it lost its Krispy Kreme anyway. At least it has three Cheesecake Factories. (Cheesecakes Factory?)

I get rutgers at 9 if you’re high on them.
I don’t get how Nebraska isn’t 14th and Illinois isn’t 13th.

Illinois would’ve been my preseason 14 and they just beat Nebraska
