crownebeach	6	I look at the 247 Composite and this doesn't add up to me either, but can you find anyone more deserving of this spot by resume or efficiency? Minnesota is 2nd in FPI efficiency on the season, behind only Alabama, and the Gophers have a very, very realistic path to the Big Ten championship game.

They seem to have it figured out up north, and I'd love to see them against OSU or Michigan at the Big 10 title game. For now, they're undefeated and have to defeat a solid Purdue team at home to keep it alive.

bretticus33	22	When will discussions about PJ Fleck being among the country’s best coaches start? He has Minnesota at 4-0 and we need to stop being surprised by seeing Minnesota do well nowadays. Minnesota gets in with an easy road win over Michigan State and they’re positioning themselves well for a Big 10 title game run.

Dawg-Bite	10	This Minnesota team is the MOST underrated team in the country. They destroyed Michigan State, a common opponent with Washington, by far more points and they did it on the road. Everything is clicking for Minnesota rn and I feel their dominance deserves a spot in the top 10.

Due_Connection179	13	The. Golden. Gophers. Just like Michigan, they had a terribly weak OOC schedule of: New Mexico State, Western Illinois, and Colorado, but absolutely destroying Michigan State throws them way up my rankings. Minnesota has vs Purdue next week (on ESPN2 at 11a), then a bye week, at Illinois on 10/15, then a big game at #9 Penn State on 10/22. If I had to ask for anything right now for college football, it would be a top-10 matchup of Golden Gophers at Nittany Lions for College Game Day on 10/22.
