If you go to Rivals and average the recruiting rankings within the conference over the past four years (almost entirely the Brewster era at Minnesota) you get the following yearly average ranks:
Ohio State 1.75
Michigan 2.25
Nebraska 3.75
Penn State 4.50
Iowa 5.00
Michigan State 5.25
Minnesota 7.50
Illinois 7.75
Wisconsin 8.00
Northwestern 10.25
Purdue 10.50
Indiana 11.00
Why shouldn't Minnesota win all the Big 10 games it plays in 2011 against schools ranked lower in recruiting than the Gophers? Also, it looks like Wisconsin has really been "coaching up" its players. If Kill can do the same--even though it's a meaningless concept--can Minnesota win a Big 10 championship soon and go to the Rose Bowl like Wisconsin did on 1/1/11?
