We'll need some 2-loss teams to lose this week if we're going to make the top 25 with a win over PSU. Might not happen until after our BYE.

Seems fair. Coaches are giving more respect to the Gophers than the writers, and I expect that.

If we could have played the second half the way we played IU in the first half, we'd be a top 25 team this week. Let's hope for a big win against PSU to push us up to the top 25!

Win this week against PSU then watch others lose and the Gophers could be a top 25 team when Wisconsin rolls into town in three weeks. This week was a bad week as only one team dropped from the top 25 - Michigan. Most weeks see 2-3 drop.

Not getting nearly as much love from the polls as I thought we would. At this rate, we won't be ranked even if we beat Penn State. But I guess that's life in the Big Ten these days; MSU and Wisconsin should both be ranked higher than they are imo.
