Will the Gophers be ranked in the Top 25 this season?

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I say yes - we end up 9-3 in the regular season, only losing to the .

Next week makes me nervous. Ask again after that one

 

[Ewert86PC]

No. Big media hates us.

 

[theTurning]

I was told that’s impossible.

The poll is open ended, so if you wanna wait you can of go all in now with me

If we beat Iowa then yes we will eventually be ranked. Probably right before going to Oregon.

If we lose to Iowa then no we will not be ranked this year.

They’ll get votes again this week. Beat Iowa and they may squeeze in. For sure in if they win through MSU

You need to listen to a better group of fans

You’ll vote YES after next week’s W.

Probably right before going to Oregon.

If we lose to Iowa then no we will not be ranked this year.

That’s what my faux sees

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

I hope a 10-2 team gets ranked. Something wrong with the system if they don't.

No L on the Left Coast?

I don't see them losing to the Quackers. We're a juggernaut now.

 

[West Fargo Gopher Fan]

I said no. I think we get a few votes this week though

 

[Tech Machine]

If we beat Iowa, for sure. If we don’t, it will be a struggle.

I like that confidence - Let’s Go

If we end 9-3, yeah, somewhere between 20-25 is where we'll end the season. Win the next two and I could see us being ranked something like 24 or 25 to make the game against Oregon a top 25 matchup (potentially give them another top 25 win).

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Welp, we received one vote on the AP and none from the “coach geniuses”

Win the next two and we’ll make it as there’s always a ton on turnover from 20-25.

 

[mcrow47]

they won't be if they don't beat Iowa. I suppose if they lost to Iowa and rant the table maybe they would but I don't think there's any chance they beat Oregon if they can't beat Iowa.

 

[alchemy2u]

Only if they beat the Ducks, otherwise a "joke of a program" never gets ranked. I heard that from some kid in the middle of nowhere....

 

[gopherbadgerman]

I think if they finish 9-3 they’ll be ranked. Or if they win the next two.

It’ll be close if they DESTROY Iowa.

I think with back to back wins over Nebraska and Iowa they might sneak in to the rankings There isn't really any super impressive teams in the 20-25 range in the rankings or others getting votes. But if not after a win over Iowa they likely would be if they also beat Michigan St.

 

[Otis]

Beat Iowa and we are 6-2 and 4-1. This could get us close and maybe in. But our 2 loses are pretty bad.

However, 7-2 and 5-1 in the B1G probably can’t be ignored.

Losing bad to Ohio St. is what pretty much all of the team ranked 20-25 would be expected to do but yeah, Cal loss turns out to be a bad one.

The Athletic has the Gophers at #28 this week.

Ranking 136 college football teams after Week 8: Indiana, Georgia Tech, Vandy in the top 10?

Talent is more dispersed than ever which leaves room for upsets and different programs to climb the rankings.

Thanks. Well hero them in the mix moving forward as that’s as legit, in my book and thread, as anything else.

I read some guy on espn said if not forthe horrible loss to Cal., they would be ranked in their top 25. Hard to believe that loss cost them 24 spots, they sit at 49. I believe Nebraska is 40, really?
