If it can only be one, give me a close loss to PSU and curb stomping of Wisconsin. The thought of an 8-3 MN going into Madison and losing is wretch inducing.

One of my favorite fall activities is tracking Gopher bowl game predictions. One my least favorite is being disappointed in the Gopher bowl game placement.

Yup, a few weeks ago I looked at remaining schedules and said Nebraska and USC might not make a bowl game and Mich would likely just squeak in…oh, and that UCLA had a legit chance. That would be a CRAZY outcome after the first 6 weeks of games. Oh, not to mention Minnesota not only making a...

I almost guarantee the punt fake wasn’t called and Crawford took off on his own. Tons of teams with those Aussie punters given them the green light to run if it looks like they’ve got a chance. So if you wanna be pi$$ed, you should likely direct your angst at Crawford. I obviously can’t...

So proud of this team. They’ve improved so much in every phase as the year has progressed, and the coaching staff held them together after a start you could easily call disastrous. Even people on a diehard FAN BOARD like this were wondering if they’d win ONE more game this season. Seriously...

Yup. They play at Hard Rock which is about an hour drive (bus ride for students) from campus in a pretty sketch area. Not a huge school, very academically rigorous, and lots of out of state students, so not a really large alumni base in/around Miami I’d imagine. Lotta factors working against...

Man, realignment happens so quick now...I missed this one.

I’m choosing to believe this happens! We’ve seen enough stupid sh!t happen to PREVENT Minnesota from playing this game. I’m going to say this is the year the opposite happens. Let’s go!

Minnesota OSU Pitt Ole Miss

Yeah I was wondering the rules as well. I’d have to assume (yeah, yeah) the B1G would try to honor the spirit of their agreement with the bowls and avoid repeat appearances to the greatest extent possible. There will be so many B1G teams with 6 - 7 wins that I’d be SHOCKED if Minnesota plays...

Yup. I thought that series and the first after half were so critical and indicative of the mindset shift. They had a game plan to be aggressive in the passing game both b/c Maryland pass D is suspect and their O actually can score quickly, and they stuck with the plan. I was shocked they came...

Minnesota 26 Maryland 20

100% agree. B1G is gonna have a TON of 5-7 win teams.

I’m planning to upgrade my DA membership tier to take advantage of this. I’ve been super happy with the work of Derek Burns and that crew. Hearing him talk on the Gopher Gridiron podcast and then reading the Discord for members gives me a ton of confidence we’re making a difference people.

Minnesota MSU A&M Kentucky

Yeah I was going to mention that as well, but I’m glad to see some thinking people on here. It’s a cute line to keep saying “year 0, year 0”, but when you can bring all your good players along PLUS a bunch of others from the portal, it’s really not the same as it was. I think they’re starting...

Yeah, I just looked at their schedule and they need to win 3 of Rutgers, Wash, UCLA, Nebraska, ND. I’m guessing they’ll do that, but probably JUST will. Really is crazy how tight the middle of the B1G is this year. Mich, USC, MN, Maryland, Rutgers, Wash, MSU…on and on. Any given Saturday (or...

Nebraska has OSU, UCLA, USC, Wisconsin, and Iowa left. I’m guessing they’ll win at least 1 of those to get bowl eligible, but it’s not unthinkable they lose out. Who would’ve predicted that a few weeks ago? On that note, Michigan needs 2 wins against OSU, Oregon, IU, MSU, and NW to get bowl...

“Tier 3” in the B1G is at least 10 teams deep…and it’s crazy to think Michigan and USC are firmly in the middle of it.
