CBS Big Ten Expert Picks


Minnesota picked as the Most Underrated Team by one of the CBS Experts.

Most underrated team​

Minnesota: The Gophers have one subpar season under P.J. Fleck and suddenly everyone is looking for a life raft? Come on now. This team won 11 games in 2019 and was a couple overtime losses away from finishing 5-2 last season instead of 3-4. Now, with a boatload of returning starters and several incoming transfers to bolster the run defense, they are poised to be title contenders in the Big Ten West once again. Opening against Ohio State is an undesirable schedule wrinkle, but this team could tick off several victories in a row before a tough closing stretch. -- Cobb (also Patterson, Kercheval)

Fleck did coach in 2017, right?

Fleck did coach in 2017, right?

Yes, but first seasons are very rarely held against a coach due to the transition year.
