ESPN: Final Big Ten Power Rankings (Minnesota #7)

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

7. Minnesota (8-5, previously: 5): The Gophers had by far the most favorable bowl matchup but didn't reach the end zone for more than three quarters against Syracuse. Although a special-teams play ultimately doomed Minnesota, the Gophers' inability to establish a better passing game was a key element in a very disappointing loss. Minnesota should expect more in 2014.

Seems like a pretty fair assesment. Although, personally (I am biased, of course), I would flip Penn State and the Gophers and put the Gophers at 6, Penn State at 7. Still hard to argue against our struggles down the strech though.

Overall, pretty fair assesment.

About sums it up.
