Thoughts on 2026?

Your last sentence is why it is easy. They can beat anyone on the schedule (Maybe not Indiana). Penn State is currently down. Michigan hasn't been dominant Michigan for a couple years. Mississippi State was 5-7 this year. That doesn't mean they can't be better but I don't fear them. I'm not saying the Gophers will pull off another 2019 but if they are going to do it next year is the schedule to pull it off. Hell this year should have been an easy year to be 9-3 if they were an above average to good team. For as terrible as they looked this year they weren't very far away from pulling it off. Why is it crazy to think that they could do similar or better without Ohio State or Oregon on the schedule? They really need to fix the oline, running game and secondary but if they figure some things out it's there for the taking.

One of the few good takes on this site.
 

FYI, looking on the Google shows that last year's Big 10 schedule was released on December 10th. So hopefully we will know the exact dates and order of opponents in the next week or so.

Miss St will be better next year than Cal this year. Have a better recruiting class this year than MN including a 5 star. They got a qb in Kamario Taylor a true dual threat.

Kind of irrelevant for next year and it wasn’t significantly better on paper.

Are they much better? They gave up 30+ points in every conference game but one. I get the young qb is a great athlete, but what’s the rest of the team look like?

It should be a toss-up game with Gophers facing an athletic dual threat QB, as they did in the Cal game. Coaching and game plan will be important. Contain the QB; don’t just give their receivers 7-8 yards passes uncontested. We win, I think.

Check back in a few months after the transfer portal dust has settled :)

Yes I agree and Miss St is much better. Happy this game is at home.

Boy, I don't think Miss State is much better, or even better. Feels like some sec inflation. Two conference wins in the past three seasons.

Coach is heading into 3rd year with program. 1-15 in SEC and 1-1 against Arizona State each winning on home field.
