Gophers (#171 of 347)

The Overall Nonconference Schedule: Gopher fans should have ZERO complaints. I certainly don't have any, especially considering what lurks after the Gophers play Duke in the Bahamas.

The Home Nonconference Schedule: Decent with Richmond and South Dakota State & likely no RPI killers, but thought it should be better (read: at least a BCS or BYU/Butler/Gonzaga-Xavier type opponent) in light of 2012-13 reseating of Williams Arena.

The Skinny: In Tubby's six seasons, excluding the ACC-B1G Challenge, the Gophers have scheduled one BCS home opponent (USC in 2011-12), fewest among B1G schools.
