Wolverines Wire first out of the gate:

7. Minnesota

In the most Minnesota-Iowa game ever, the Gophers won 12-10. Minnesota managed 239 yards of total offense but held the Hawkeyes to 127 yards. Next week, it plays Michigan State.

Buckeyes Wire chimes in:

9. Minnesota

Why the Ranking​

I can’t figure Minnesota out. Just when I had the Gophers kind of filed away as out of the mix in the West division, they go and beat a one-loss Iowa team to get back into it. Don’t get too confident Minnesota fans. All you have to do is string together about three scoring drives to beat a Hawkeye offense that looks like it can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

Nittany Lions Wire chimes in:

8. Minnesota

Last game: Won at Iowa, 12-10

Minnesota’s offense has not been an enjoyable experience this season, but the Gophers got away with it in a road game at Iowa. The defense played a strong game against the Hawkeyes and Minnesota won its first game at Iowa since 1999.

Saturday Tradition chimes in:

9. Minnesota (4-3)​

Last week: at Iowa, W 12-10

Minnesota rolled into Iowa City and beat the Hawkeyes at their own game, kicking 4 field goals in a 12-10 win. Credit the Gopher defense (obviously) and Daniel Jackson with just enough big plays to keep getting into field goal range against Iowa’s defense.
