15. Minnesota
Unlike Washington, Minnesota suffers as a football program in an urban market where it’s behind the state’s pro sports teams. Interest fluctuates between curious when the Gophers are winning to flatlining when they’re not. That’s a tough gig for any coach, and P.J. Fleck has navigated it well in his nine seasons. But he’s the program’s most consistent winner since the Vikings began play in 1961, which shows how difficult it is to build and maintain success.Tier 1:
