Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 9 (ESPN & BTN: Minnesota #5)

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

5. Minnesota Golden Gophers
Record: 6-2 overall, 3-1 Big Ten
Previous ranking: 4
The Gophers were not going to run the table. They just weren't. Now people can stop asking about it. But Illinois? Minnesota finally failed to make a play when it was needed. Troubling to think that the other three top teams in the West remain on the schedule.

Go Gophers!!

per BTN:

5. Minnesota (6-2, 3-1). Few, if any, expected Minnesota to flop at Illinois. It did, ending the team’s four-game winning streak, and now a killer November schedule threatens to derail the season.
Last week: 4

Based on the reaction here on the GH, I would have thought our ranking would have been at least 15 or lower.
