Gopher pub...

Humorous, if not overwhelmingly sarcastic. I'll take it, especially on a pretty popular college FB blog. Any coverage (not involving the swinging of plywood) is better than no coverage.

I enjoy the fact that wisconsin and Michigan got left out. It's a useless poll, but its nice to see some recognition.

Where the hell do you put Iowa, other than above Penn State and below Ohio State, who would probably beat them in a 6-2 horror show leaving non-Big Ten fans holding their own eyeballs in hand at the end in order to ensure they could never watch such football horror ever again.

As a Big Ten fan that hurts, but it's hard to argue with it. Funny, too.

Pretty sure Minnesota’s a rock-solid 25, though.

Love it!

Nice pub. I suppose he thinks Wisconsin hasn't played against any real defenses and Michigan has played overhyped teams. Tough to say if ND, Michigan, IU, and PU have actually improved much. MSU is down from last year, especially on defense. Illinois has 9 points on offense this year against real teams and has a banged up defense. I think it's an intelligent argument to put us as the 4th best B10 team until proven otherwise.
