FYI - it was tough to do given how horrific Iowa's defense is, but Minnesota managed to finish 14th in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
The #245 on offense was 64 points lower than 13th place Rutgers (who has the #1 defense in the conference, #5 in the country).
The #194 defense was edged out by Iowa at #183 (who has the #1 offense in the conference, #3 in the country). 10/14 B1G teams are in the top quintile defensively. I mention that because even a 100-rank improvement wouldn't crack the top 10 of the B1G. It's just a massive chasm.
The moral of the story regarding Iowa and Rutgers is to at least be good at something.
