The Athletic is a bunch of... Uh, what do you call those kinds of people? Dinks, that's right. They're dinks. At least they are for this article. And lazy, but @gopherbadgerman beat me to it.

Burden is on Gophers to show that last season was an aberration not a trend.

I know this is a joke, but The Athletic is awesome. I listen to their podcast The Audible (Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel) religiously

It makes me wonder if they rank the teams based on the number of fans and fan interest per team and make their list based on that number; generating more clicks, and advertising dollars for The Athletic. Certainly, this is why Nebraska is ranked so high each year.
