I’m a fleck guy but

2/3 of the power 4 has a 10 win season post 2020


Minnesota doesn’t.

Point being, even bad coaches seem to win 10 games more recently than fleck



I am not a fire fleck guy. But if you go until 2028 and never get to 9 regular season wins…would be hard for anyone to say just give it more time and it’ll happen. I don’t think it’s that hot of a take to say if Mn goes two more years without Minnesota finishing in the top 25 (9-3 would probably do it) it may be time to evaluate what flecks ceiling is in this era and if it’s good enough.
I’m not asking to be a national title contender. I’m asking to be in the top 25 once every 5 years.

Less than 50% of Big Ten teams have won 10 games since 2020. That the ACC and Big 12 have numerous 10 game winners in in conferences that are extremely inconsistent on a year by year basis due to parity doesn't hold water to me, at least. I surmise we'd be far more successful in those conferences as well.

That is a fun question. How many of the 17 other teams would include Gophers in their circled teams?

I think six B10 teams right now look at us and say, "that's a win": tOSU, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, USC, Michigan.

At a minimum, their fans do.

I remember when Gopher fans used to think that about Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, and Illinois.

I'm excited for the Indiana game. We have no idea how that will pan out, we can educatedly assume that Indiana will slaughter us based on Cignetti's track record, but how awesome would it be to get a dub and make them look like Indiana of yesteryear?

Should only get to count wins against P4, and then should also have a number next to it about the average number of P4 wins of those opponents (ie. a SOS metric).


Counting "wins" against Northwestern State and Eastern Illinois types programs?

That would drop the SEC teams alot.
