Yes, the B1G is lacking in star power, but no other conference in the nation has as many RPI Top 100 rated teams, with 11. And only the Big 12 has as many RPI Top 50 rated teams. And the crazy thing about this fact, is that the Ken-Pom, Massey, Sagarin and BPI ratings ALL show alot more...

yeah, and that wrestling team, wow, beat #2 Iowa and #1 Oklahoma St on the same day to win a Natl Duals Title, 2nd one in a row!!! And that Dance Team, won another TWO Natl Titles AGAIN this year, and so are at FOUR YEARS IN A ROW of winning DOUBLE TITLES in both Pom and Jazz!!!! And was it...

Looking at the Sagarin Ratings after Fridays games #1 - Indiana #4 - Duke #6 - Michigan #9 - Michigan St #10 - Wisconsin #11 - Ohio St #21 - Minnesota #31 - Memphis #34 - Iowa #37 - Illinois #50 - Stanford We would be 2-6 vs the Top 11 and 6-8 vs the Top 50. Some schools can't claim to have...

DOWN GOES BELMONT!!! This helps our RPI for sure Minnesota beats Wisconsin - definitely an RPI boost. Ohio State beats Nthwstrn - This isn't horrible for us, might give us a better chance for a bigger upset, or make the loss to them not look so bad, but we played NW twice, so had they held...

with 21 total points after tonight, he's 4 pts ahead of the next best player. Before tonight he was tied for 1st in assists and was 2nd in goals. Now he's 1st in goals and WAY ahead in points. He could go pointless for 2 games and still probably be in 1st or close to it. Nice to see a...

Damned NDSU. Former Gopher opponents were having a perfect night so far, especially the Illinois upset of Indiana. Will keep Illinois in the Top 50 and will possibly be what keeps them headed to the NCAA tourney. Also shows that Indiana can be beat, and we should expect to give them a run when...

No big upsets today, but the only losses our former opponents suffered were vs our former opponents. FSU lost to Duke, which was expected, and even losing to them will help their RPI a little. Duke beat FSU. Lafayette lost to American. American beat Lafayette Richmond wins a big game Memphis...

USC scores a huge upset over UCLA & Stanford scores a very big upset over Oregon. Florida St scores a big upset over Maryland. All 3 teams winning helps, but playing 3 quality opponents with very good records helps even more. Memphis also wins Lafayette also wins Toledo also wins So 6 wins...

Except for Miami of Ohio, but that's their only win in the last 5 games, so unless we lose again tomorrow, our #1 ranking might hold. Strange though, Quinipiac seems to have quite playing hockey?! They didn't play last week, and don't seem to be scheduled to play this weekend, either? We are #2...

Too funny, the poster child for the Fire Tubby Club, LOSES to a team rated WORSE than NW in the RPI. LOL, Tubby has to be the worst coach in the world because the Gophers lose to NW, yet Shaka Smart couldn't coach his #19 ranked team past a lowly #82 ranked Richmond team, that Tubby WAS able...

A team, like the Gophers, this late into the year, can rarely have a perfect Saturday without even playing, if ever even, but so far this day has been good to the Gophers. Some of these things may seem insignificant, but when a former opponent is ranked #99 in the RPI, it is significant...

I don't know, how big of bandwagon fans they are? How stupid they are? How little they know about sports? How fairweather Minnesota fans are in general? I love twitter, for alot of reasons, but just wait until your favorite team goes down by 20 and just read the bandwagoners last jabs before...

in the STRENGTH OF SCEDULE rankings. Seriously, we are #2 right now and are playing a Top 10 rated team?! I think we'll have a solid lock on #1 in the SOS. Gotta think our RPI will look pretty good as well, especially if we win the game.

Looking at Minnesota in the various polls and how we compare to Michigan and btw, I put #2 - #9 in the title because I do not recognize the validity of the coaches poll. Name me a single coach who has time to pay any attention to any cbb teams besides his own and his next opponents team. AP...

Ok, the title was a bit of a tease, but yes, Minnesota is ranked #1 at www.teamrankings.com/ncb/rankings/team/ I am not sure if I did something wrong, but the link does send you to somewhere that provides the correct link. Its really easy, so just don't worry if the site doesn't come up...

I know these things are probably silly, but its just nice to represent with these kinds of things and remind the cfb world that we used to be pretty awesome and that there are lots of Gopher fb fans still around patiently waiting for our programs resurrection. If everyone in this fb forum...

Calling all Gopher fans! U should go 2 ESPN & vote 4 Gophers as Greatest FB Dynasty I know alot of people think these things are silly, but it wouldn't take much time to do it, and Minnesota is in 7th place right now, but if all the GHers went there and voted, UMn could move up to maybe even...

Espn's Basketball Power Index(BPI) has UMn listed at #2. No 2. 1. Duke 2. Minnesota 3. Indiana 4. Louisville 5. Arizona 6. Florida 7. Kansas 8. Michigan 9. Syracuse 10. Creighton Duke is way out in front, and we are only 1/10th of a point ahead of IU, but for the time being, we are ranked #2...

Ok, now that the season is over, I want to ask this question of anyone in the know, or of anyone who simply has an opinion on the subject. Why is the title of this forum, "7 National Titles Football Forum"? The AP recognizes 4 Titles for Minnesota. Most sites, sports almanacs, etc., list 6...
