2026 Gopher Rankings in Top 25

[EaganGopher22]

Today, Gophers were ranked #23 in the AP. I don't recall the last time we were ranked in February. So I thought it might be worth starting its own thread and hopefully we stay in top 25 until end of season. This is not meant to replace Bracketology thread, which has its own life

Pretty sure the Gophers were ranked in the AP poll for some of the season when Banham was injured and Zahui B was so good.
