BTN: Week 8 Game of the week is Minnesota at Northwestern

[BleedGopher]

per BTN:

Game of the week: Minnesota’s trip to Northwestern could be interesting. Yes, this could be a matchup between the first- and last-place teams in the Legends Division. Still, it could be a fun clash. The Golden Gophers are getting better under Jerry Kill, who is in his third season in Minneapolis. And his programs blossomed in the third season in his last two stops: Northern Illinois and Southern Illinois. This could be the Wildcats’ best team since the Rose Bowl squad of 1995. Northwestern has had the upper hand on Minnesota of late, winning three in a row and five of the last six. In fact, the Wildcats have taken 10 of the last 15 encounters.

Ranking Week 8 games
1. Minnesota at Northwestern
2. Wisconsin at Illinois
3. Purdue at Michigan State
4. Iowa at Ohio State
5. Indiana at Michigan

The last 6 meetings have been very close games and we've been competitive in each. The last two years NW has benefited from early mistakes on our part. If Nelson had started this game instead of Shortell we might have had a chance. That game really sealed Shortell's fate.

Why would they suggest Northwestern could be in last place in the Legends Division?

You may be right but I don't think Northwestern will be in last place.

Why would they suggest Northwestern could be in last place in the Legends Division?

They could have massive amounts of players academically ineligible.
