6. Minnesota
Based on online interactions, the actual confidence level of Minnesota fans this offseason is considerably higher than 6th. Golden Gophers fans are rather convinced they are winning the West for the first time.And there’s certainly reason for optimism. PJ Fleck is locked up to a long-term contract extension. The defense should be among the Big Ten’s best. Even after some key transfer portal defections, the Gophers have a bevy of talented running backs.
But counting on quarterback Tanner Morgan to recapture his 2019 form after 2 years of major regression is a big ask.
In other words, Gopher fans have reason to be excited — but maybe not quite as confident as they currently seem to be.
