Buckeyes Wire is first out of the gate:

The reason for the ranking​

Minnesota was off this week so there wasn’t anything we can take from what we saw on the field. So far, the Golden Gophers have looked really good at times, and befuddling at others. That’s probably what we’ll see the rest of the year, so we’ll boost Minnesota one spot more on what Rutgers couldn’t do rather than the faith we have in where this team is headed.

Wolverines Wire chimes in:

9. Minnesota

Minnesota was idle this week, which is really good timing, considering the Jekyll and Hyde nature of this team. The defense has stood tall at times. While running back Treyson Potts has been the star on offense, the Gophers need to figure out something to get Tanner Morgan going.

Still, it moves down a spot this week, by nothing of its own doing.

11.) Minnesota (3-2, 1-1) | Open Week | Previously No. 10​
