There must be dozens of B1G Ten power rankings, but I really like the pespective of the Comcast SportsNet raking:

5. Minnesota Golden Gophers (7-3, LW: 5). Despite the loss, Minnesota doesn't deserve to be kicked out of the top five. The Gophers put up an unexpectedly good fight against the Buckeyes on Saturday, coming back from a lightning-quick 14-0 deficit to tie the game at 14 in the second quarter. Minnesota capitalized on some Ohio State turnovers in that game and only ended up losing to a top-10 team by a touchdown. Remaining games against Nebraska and Wisconsin could mean the season ending with a less-than-impressive record, but no matter what happens the rest of the way, these Gophers will finish the year as one of the Big Ten's five best teams.

I totally agree with this.

Pretty exciting that we get to play his No. 3 and No. 4 teams in his rankings the next two games. I like the fact that we're 11-point dogs, too. It's time to shock the world.
 

My predictions for final Records would put us at 4th after final week.

Ohio State 8-0
MSU 7-1
Wis 7-1
MN 5-3
Iowa 5-3
Nebraska 4-4
Michigan 4-4
Maryland 4-4
Northwestern 3-5
Penn State 3-5
Rutgers 2-6
Purdue 2-6
Illinois 1-7
Indiana 1-7

That would get me down to Florida. OSU & MSU in the New Year's 6. Wisconsin to Capital One/Holiday and Gophers to the Outback in Tampa.

I'll take that right now if you told me we'd have to lose to Wisconsin.

No one would be shocked to see us win.

I'd take no bowl game at all if you told me we could beat Wisconsin
 

If we can beat Nebraska, we'll be playing Wisconsin for a trip to the championship game. I know the game is new, but when was the last time we were playing for a title in the last few weeks of the season?

Forgive the use of that cliche, however, I have to disagree. I can think of a fairly long list of folks who would admit they would be shocked if we beat Nebraska. Some posted things to that effect after the Illinois game.
