I started a stub of this idea in another thread, but I think it's worth it's own mostly slow season post. What school, all things considered, is the most similar to Minnesota in football? Preferably outside the Big Ten.
I'm going with Pitt. Public, big city university who shares a market/stadium with an NFL team (I know we have our own stadium now). For most of my life they have been pretty average, but had their big time heyday in the past. Struggles a bit for attendance/visibility in their market, but if they got good people would rally. Georgia Tech is another contender in my eyes, as is Boston College.
