Wolverines Wire first out of the gate:

7. Minnesota

Big Ten power rankings after Week 8: Changes after Ohio State beat Penn State

There was one big game for the Big Ten in terms of ranked-on-ranked matchups, but there was also the big rivalry game between Michigan football and Michigan State. The Wolverines eviscerated MSU like it hasn't in 76 years, putting the Spartans back into the stone a

Buckeyes Wire chimes in:

9. Minnesota

Why the Ranking​

I can’t figure Minnesota out. Just when I had the Gophers kind of filed away as out of the mix in the West division, they go and beat a one-loss Iowa team to get back into it. Don’t get too confident Minnesota fans. All you have to do is string together about three scoring drives to beat a Hawkeye offense that looks like it can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

Nittany Lions Wire chimes in:

8. Minnesota

Last game: Won at Iowa, 12-10

Minnesota’s offense has not been an enjoyable experience this season, but the Gophers got away with it in a road game at Iowa. The defense played a strong game against the Hawkeyes and Minnesota won its first game at Iowa since 1999.

Saturday Tradition chimes in:

9. Minnesota (4-3)​

Last week: at Iowa, W 12-10

Minnesota rolled into Iowa City and beat the Hawkeyes at their own game, kicking 4 field goals in a 12-10 win. Credit the Gopher defense (obviously) and Daniel Jackson with just enough big plays to keep getting into field goal range against Iowa’s defense.
