    Michigan vs Villanova

    Wolverines straight up throttling the #8 Wildcats, in Philly. 50-23 in the 2nd half as I type this. Gonna be a tough conference opponent for sure.

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 12

    Another week, another insane result for our Gophers. From losing by three scores as a double-digit favorite to winning by four scores as a double-digit underdog, the numbers just cannot figure out Minnesota this year. It's probably a symptom of youth and coaching change, as well as conference...

    All Things National/State Parks Thread...

    Did four days backpacking @ Isle Royale this summer. It was nice, saw moose, had some great scenery, very remote, but not sure I'd do it again. Juice wasn't quite worth the squeeze for me at least. To the East, I love Acadia and would go back in a heartbeat. We made it even further up the coast...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 11

    Not much to say after Saturday's lackluster performance. The Gophers now sit well below the bowl eligibility line and will need to score a major upset to even come close. Double-digit underdogs in two of our last three, it's not the way I (or anyone associated with the program, I'm sure) wanted...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 10

    Things went more-or-less as expected this weekend, as the Gophers took care of Indiana by a one-score margin at home. That brings Minnesota's record to 2-2 in "toss-up" games for the year (wins over Fresno and Indiana, losses to Maryland and Nebraska). If the Gophers can maintain a .500 record...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 9

    Oof. Another week, another big loss in a potential toss-up game. And that means we're looking at a bleaker outcome than ever. Purdue has rocketed into the top 25 with their thrashing of Ohio State, while none of our other opponents meaningfully improved or declined - but the Gophers dropped...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 8

    When is a loss a win? Well, never. A loss is a loss. But the numbers look pretty stable when you lose by less than expected to a top-2 opponent on the road. And that leads us to where we are now - the Gophers enter their "winnable" stretch of the season being slight favorites or even with each...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 7

    Hard to believe we're already at the week 7 predictions, but here we are. And though we took the loss last week, it was expected and didn't really shift the numbers too far. The most notable changes include Illinois shifting from -8 to -6.5 (or from likely W to toss-up, in other words) and...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 6

    No huge shifts in the formula as the Gophers were off this week. Probably the biggest change week over week involved Nebraska shifting further in our favor ... and there's a better-than-zero chance the Huskers are winless when we go to Lincoln. Smells like a trap game, if we can have such a...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 5

    That sound you heard was the Gopher train screeching to a halt. With a 42-14 beatdown at the hands of Maryland, the Gophers now stand at 1-1 in toss-up games for the year. Of course, it was a big margin of defeat and that shows up in the numbers to a point. Games that looks to be trending in the...

    Gophers versus ranked opponents since 1977

    I was curious about the history of the Gophers against ranked opponents and the home/road splits so I started searching - here's the last time Minnesota won against ranked opponents at home and on the road, and the overall record since 1977 (basically the past 40 years). I think this is accurate...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 4

    A new high-water mark for the season after the Gophers take care of business and several of our conference opponents didn't. Though we have four "toss-up" games on the schedule, the formula has us favored in all four, starting this Saturday in College Park. A win there and Iowa might creep into...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 3

    We outperformed again! Which means ... the model likes our chances to go bowling for the first time in 2018. Before we get too crazy, we still have a number of tough matchups. Our road games - sans Illinois - are looking particularly difficult, and the numbers like us in a dogfight versus...

    Sagarin Predictions: Week 2

    Outperforming the model in the early season has some big effects in our predictions. The Gophers outperformed the predicted outcome by quite a bit, and it raised their prospects almost across the board. The only issue is that our next opponent did the same against Idaho, and moved that game...
