Pretty interesting choices here, in my opinion. Gophers are put at 6.5 wins, which feels like more respect than we usually get from these.

 

This is quite predictable for this kind of thing

Everyone finishes in the same order as last year (which will of course happen) except Minnesota goes down a bit, Nebraska goes up a bit, and Michigan pulls even with Indiana.

Minnesota down, Nebraska up, everyone else stays the same has been a feature of every pre-September ranking for the last decade.
 

are these straight up or with some odds on them

These odds have us winning more games than
Purdue
Northwestern
Rutgers
Wisconsin
Michigan state

Fewer games than
Ohio state
Oregon
Nebraska
Iowa

Long story short. If you think this team beats Buffalo and northwestern state, bet the over.
And that’s without seeing Cal’d projection

When you put it that way, the 2025 schedule ain't that bad. Considering 5 B1G opponents are projected to miss a bowl, 2 more should be easy wins, and @Cal, Nebraska, and @iowa are all quite winnable.

That's 10 games I see where the Gophers would be favored or no worse than a 7 pt dog based on how 2024 ended up.

Cal also at 6.5 it appears.

Correct. The new big ten we are much less likely to get a schedule we feel we can go 12-0 against but more likely to get a schedule we feel we can go 9-3 against.
 

Requires a leap of faith at QB, but if they get anything close to Brosmer level and don't win 10 games or more, I'm going to be disappointed.
