Week 10 Big Ten Power Rankings

Buckeyes Wire first out of the gate:

8. Minnesota

Why the Ranking​

If feels like the whole West division is just a pile of inconsistent yuck. Minnesota started off challenged, went through a stretch where you thought the boat was rowing in the right direction, and then lost a game it really needed to win at home this past weekend. The Gophers are another team on the doorstep of bowl-eligibility but we’re just not sure if anyone’s going to answer the knock.

Last Result: Lost vs. Illinois, 27-26

Chaos in the West continues!

Saturday Tradition chimes in:

9. Minnesota (5-4)​

Last week: vs. Illinois, L 27-26

How? Yes, Illinois’ defense was remarkably tougher once Johnny Newton’s first-half suspension concluded, but how did PJ Fleck manage to lose this one? The short answer is a string of defensive miscues on Illinois’ game-winning drive, but… how?
