ESPN: A look at the easiest Big Ten nonconference schedules in 2016 (10. Minnesota)

per ESPN:

Here is a look at the Big Ten's easiest nonleague schedules, ranked 8-14 (with 14 being the easiest). We examined the other seven teams Monday in our list of the toughest nonconference schedules.

10. Minnesota

Sept. 1: vs. Oregon State (2-10)

Sept. 10: vs. Indiana State (5-6)

Sept. 24: vs. Colorado State (7-6)

A year ago, Minnesota needed overtime in Fort Collins to escape with a 23-20 victory against Colorado State. The Rams went on to play in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and are the only team on the Gophers' nonconference schedule that had a winning record last season. Oregon State lost its final nine games a year ago, and Indiana State tied for sixth in the Missouri Valley Football Conference of the FCS.

I would rank our non-conf easier then Iowa's. Of the 6 teams on the two schedules NDSU is by far the toughest opponent. Both schedules are fairly light but NDSU is never an easy win these days whereas we should be able to handle all three teams on our slate somewhat easily if we play anywhere close to the way we are capable of playing.

12-0.
