If you had to bet $500 on the Gophs record this year

I guess I like to break it down into tiers:

Middle Tennessee St/South Dakota/Northern Illinois: 3-0 (although I think NIU is tougher than we're giving them credit for)
Northwestern/Purdue/Michigan State/Illinois: Optimistic says we can go 4-0, I think more realistic is 3-1, but since 3 of them are on the road, I'll say 2-2 (NW & IL the two I'll say we win).
USC/Penn State/Ohio State: I think we go 1-2 on this & take down either USC or Penn State.
Iowa/Wisconsin: 0-2

That's 6-6. I see the ceiling as 9-3 (losses to Wisconsin, Ohio State & Iowa) and the basement being 4-8 (2-2 in OOC and finding 2 wins in the NW/IL/MSU/Pur pod.
