Lot's of teams overcome one small loss earlier in the season. Better to lose now than later. When we smoke USC next week, everyone will forget about this game...
Haha...I've gotten past being bitter about Gopher losses or bitter about media negative attitudes. Today officially made every bit of criticism towards the program well warranted and deserved.
They'll still get in if they are undefeated and there are not 2 undefeated BCS conference teams. The super high pre-season ranking and their record the last few years against BCS teams works in they favor.
