People's perceptions of Minnesota won't change until you change their perceptions. That will take more than one year.
The COVID issues we had last year turned into a lost season, but some of those perceptions carry through even though we hit a 8 win season.
Iowa getting blown out last night did absolutely ZERO to help Minnesota in bowl selection. As long as we are taking 2nd place to a team who performs like that with the whole nation watching, I'd select a Penn State team as well.
Let's quick acting like we got jobbed when we all watched Iowa last night, a team we lost to.
