per CBS:
Most underrated team
Minnesota: It was a cute little story last year when the Golden Gophers entered rivalry weekend with the College Football Playoff in their sights. They should enter the truncated 2020 season with much more than just surface-level hype. Tanner Morgan is one of the top quarterbacks in the game, the return of wide receiver Rashod Bateman was one of the biggest stories of the offseason, running back Mohamed Ibrahim is one of the better running backs that you've never heard of and the offensive line will return intact. That's one heck of an offensive foundation that should be even more effective than normal given the odd offseason. There are plenty of holes on defense ... but the Gophers should be able to force most teams into offensive shootouts, which is exactly the style that they want to play.
Bold Predictions:

Bold Predictions:
- Barrett Sallee: The Big Ten will enter mid-December with Minnesota and Wisconsin squarely in the mix. The winner of the West will be 60 good minutes of football in the Big Ten Championship Game away from making the CFP.
- Ben Kercheval: The Big Ten will have three teams -- Ohio State, Penn State and Minnesota -- finish in the top 10 at the end of the year.
