per McKewon:
With Wisconsin’s quarterback situation in question — senior starter Jack Coan is on crutches after foot surgery — Minnesota may become the trendy pick in the West. Its hardest crossover game comes right out of the chute, at home. Win there, and the other crossover, Maryland, shouldn’t be much of a challenge.
Minnesota’s Friday night showcase slot indicates the TV partners, and the league, view Fleck and his Gophers as viable championship candidates.

McKewon: Is Minnesota a Big Ten West contender? The schedule says it is
Minnesota got three of the Big Ten's five Friday games. Sam McKewon wonders if that's an indication of what the conference thinks about P.J. Fleck's Gophers this season.
