per Athlon:
14. Minnesota
Non-Con: South Dakota State, at Fresno State, Georgia Southern
West Home: Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin
West Away: Purdue, Iowa, Northwestern
Crossover: at Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State
Don’t sleep on Minnesota's non-conference schedule. Fresno State and Georgia Southern are winning programs in their respective right, and even South Dakota State is a strong FCS program not to be taken too lightly in the opener. But in the grand scheme of things, Minnesota's schedule is the easiest you will find in the Big Ten this season. The crossover slate includes Rutgers and Maryland. Penn State is there too, but the Gophers get the Nittany Lions at home after a bye week. Upset potential? Absolutely. Minnesota also gets Nebraska and Wisconsin at home, which could be important in the division standings, although trips to Iowa, Purdue, and Northwestern leads to some problems. There are a bunch of potential swing games on Minnesota's schedule before anyone should go predicting the Gophers row to the Big Ten Championship Game.
