Week 10 Big Ten Power Rankings

[BleedGopher]

Buckeyes Wire first out of the gate:

8. Minnesota

Why the Ranking​

If feels like the whole West division is just a pile of inconsistent yuck. Minnesota started off challenged, went through a stretch where you thought the boat was rowing in the right direction, and then lost a game it really needed to win at home this past weekend. The Gophers are another team on the doorstep of bowl-eligibility but we’re just not sure if anyone’s going to answer the knock.

Last Week’s Power Ranking: 8 (⇔ no change)
Last Result: Lost vs. Illinois, 27-26

Wolverines Wire chimes in:

7. Minnesota

Minnesota is another team that went down to a team it shouldn’t have, losing to Illinois on Saturday. While the Gophers don’t appear to have much of a solid identity and thus this loss isn’t a complete shock, the anemic offense didn’t exactly complement a defense that allowed nearly 300 yards passing to Luke Altmyer.

Chaos in the West continues!

Saturday Tradition chimes in:

9. Minnesota (5-4)​

Last week: vs. Illinois, L 27-26

How? Yes, Illinois’ defense was remarkably tougher once Johnny Newton’s first-half suspension concluded, but how did PJ Fleck manage to lose this one? The short answer is a string of defensive miscues on Illinois’ game-winning drive, but… how?
