[Gopher07]

With the season done, decided to do some comparisons. Everything is neutral site, so no home field added scores.

Rose: #3 Stanford -4 over #7 MSU
Orange: #11 Ohio State -1.5 over #16 Clemson
Capital One: #10 Wisconsin -2 over #17 South Carolina
Outback: #15 LSU -7.5 over #29 Iowa
Buffalo Wild Wings: #28 Kansas State -2 over #38 Michigan
Gator: #19 Georgia -9.5 over #49 Nebraska
Texas: #51 Minnesota -3.5 over #68 Syracuse

Biggest mismatches, based on ranking: Georgia/Nebraska (30 rank difference), Minnesota/Syracuse (17 rank difference).

Final predicted B1G conference bowl record: 3-4
Final predicted Minnesota record: 9-4 (4-4)

I hope this prediction helps people realize that Syracuse is a better opponent than most Gopher fans are giving them credit for.
