This is lowballing the Gophers. Most of the computer models put the Gophers between 25-30.

ESPN FPI, SP+, TeamRankings, Sagarin, Massey all put the Gophers in that range.

Does it really matter if your 30th or 39th?

Does it really matter if your 30th or 39th?

Not to the fate of the universe, but it's a decent difference in the pecking order.

The computers saw what we saw, which was a team that probably could have finished 9-4 or even 10-3 with a couple different bounces/calls

Does it really matter if your 30th or 39th?

Yeah, it's like after a storm and you are standing in front of your flattened house debating tornado or straight-line winds.
