ESPN: Big Ten Week 1 Power Rankings (Minnesota #4 Overall, 2nd in BT West)

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

4. Minnesota: No, the Gophers couldn't pull out the upset against No. 2 TCU. But they definitely deserve some respect after hanging with one of the best teams in the nation and falling in a close 23-17 contest. Mitch Leidner needs to get better -- he had a QBR of 18.5 Saturday -- but this defense looks elite.

Gophers remain #3 in the BTN Power Rankings:

3. Minnesota (0-1). As expected, the Gophers lost to TCU. No shame there. But Minnesota made the Horned Frogs look ordinary. And the Gopher defense looks as good as advertised. This still could be a special season.
Last week: 3
