per Dienhart's Q&A:

I noticed that everybody gives a lot of love to Ohio State and Michigan State. That is all well and good. But who are your sleepers? – Steven

There are three candidates in the Big Ten West. I have been on Minnesota’s bandwagon since the summer. And, I’m staying on it. I think the Golden Gophers can win the Big Ten West—as long as Mitch Leidner throws well. I also like Illinois. If the Fighting Illini come back from North Carolina with a win, Illinois could be a real factor in the West. A big reason why: Wes Lunt, who is the most talented quarterback in the division. And this team seems to be galvanized by the tumultuous start to the season, when Tim Beckman was fired a week before the opener. And then there is Northwestern, the most surprising 2-0 team in the Big Ten. You can win a lot of games with a good defense and running game. And those are two of NU’s top strengths. I see no sleepers in the East.

Go Gophers!!
 

And from same Q&A:

Did you watch the Minnesota game at all? The Gophers desperately need a different playmaker at quarterback to step up. If Mitch Leidner really is our best option at QB, we are in big trouble the next couple of years. – Travis Fawver

I know, Leidner never will be confused with John Elway. And his 1-of-7 start at Colorado State was brutal. But, he did deliver the big TD pass to KJ Maye late in the game and finished 23-of-45 for 233 yards with two TDs vs. the Rams. I know true freshman Demry Croft is “sexy” and probably more talented. But can Minnesota really reach its potential with him under center?

"Factor" - in real world terms - they may not be good enough to win the West, but on a good day, they might be able to upset one of the other contenders, and help determine who ultimately wins the west.

That good enough for you?
 


This exchange neither made me more, nor less, convinced that Bleed is a robot :)
 


Factor: they will beat either Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota or Northwestern to ruin that teams chance of winning the west.

Sure, it could happen. I'd be ok with them factoring in with 3 of those teams.

Let's hope either Iowa or PSU beat Illinois also in case 5-3 is good enough to win the division.
