Go Gophers!!

I kind of think there is a small chance of ranking going into the Penn State game. Colorado State is not very good. The gophers should be 3-0 after week 4.

Only 45 or so unbeatens left

Now after we don't lose next week will we keep that vote, or after we don't win next week will it go away?

How would we move up 18 places with a bye week and win over CSU? #NoChance

Not a prayer. Maybe if we beat Penn State. Maybe.

Not a prayer. Maybe if we beat Penn State. Maybe.

Even then I doubt it. We'd have to wax everyone and score 50 both games.....

The media is pretty down on Penn State now. We won't get much of a jump there. It's Iowa that could do it.

Assuming Zero upsets....

at least 17 games (I may have missed a couple of games) played by teams in front of us in that poll will end up putting a loss on a team currently in front of us' schedule.

Not saying we would jump all or any of them. But assuming a few upsets and a convincing win against CSU I think it is certainly possible...though not probable.

Because there are 17 games between two teams currently in front of us plus any upsets?
