BTN first out of the gate:

12. Minnesota (4-4, 1-4). The Golden Gophers just can’t scratch out enough consistency on offense, as the passing game struggles.

ESPN chimes in:

10. Minnesota (10): The Gophers lost to Iowa to fall to 1-4 in conference play and 4-4 overall. The passing game was just not there for Minnesota, with Demry Croft completing only nine of his 29 pass attempts with no touchdowns and one interception.

8. Minnesota (4-4)
The Gophers looked in the mirror Saturday, and found a loss in Iowa City. Both teams had just 15 first downs and committed three combined turnovers. Minnesota hasn't won at Iowa since 1999, which was Kirk Ferentz's first season. The Gophers also still have just one Big Ten win, and now are staring at an uphill climb to a bowl game in P.J. Fleck's first season. Michigan and Wisconsin still loom on the schedule, including a night game in Ann Arbor this Saturday. (Last week: 7)

Randy chimes in:

11. Gophers (4-4, 1-4): With Floyd staying in Iowa, Gophers will try to seize the Little Brown Jug from Michigan. That’s happened four times in the past 40 years.
