5. There's something on the line for the Gophers in this game
While Minnesota can't win the Big Ten Legends Division -- Michigan State locked it up with a win last weekend -- that doesn't mean there's nothing to play for Saturday. Another win would bring the Gophers to 9-3 on the season, which would even further surpass many peoples' expectations for the Gophers this year. But Minnesota could help bolster its bowl game standing with one more victory, especially an impressive one against a Top 25 team. Current bowl projections have the Gophers playing anywhere from the Texas Bowl to the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl to the Gator Bowl. However, if Minnesota improves to 9-3 and pulls off an upset of Michigan State, it's not crazy to think that the Gophers could perhaps jump up to an even better bowl -- say, the Outback Bowl. Of course, the bowl positioning will depend quite a bit on what happens with the rest of the Big Ten teams this weekend, but Minnesota can make a strong case for itself to improve its standing with a signature road win.
