Per Randy:
"Listen, we're filling schedules every single yearwith who will play us, what fits for us, what the dynamics are for years to come,'' Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. "We're scheduling games 15 years out right now.''
For the Gophers, the general philosophy of nonconference scheduling has been to have one game against a team from the other Power Five conferences (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) and one or two from the Group of Five (American Athletic, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt), or an FCS opponent if needed.
Go Gophers!!

This year's Gophers nonconference football schedule is very soft. How come?
Minnesota's three opponents before Big Ten play begins combined for an 8-27 record last year. But there are reasons the nonconference schedule isn't always as challenging as fans would like.
