What grade would you give the Gophers 2018 regular season?
6-6. I would have had C, but we beat Wisconsin. That alone is a bump of a grade.

I gave it a B. If you would have told me at the beginning of the season we would make a bowl and beat Wisconsin I would have taken it 10/10 times and been thrilled. The awful losses to Illinois, Nebraska, and Maryland however were embarrassing and will hurt the quality of bowl Minnesota gets. Even tho there is only 1 win difference from last year the on field quality of this program is leaps and bounds better than last year. I'm excited for the bowl game and even more excited for next season
Exactly, only one more when overall, but compare our last three games last year to this year.

I believe you miscalculated and beating Wisconsin gets you to at least a BWow, this is tough. I went with "C", but almost any grade except A and F is justifiable IMO.
If you'd told me before the season we'd finish 6-6, I would've been slightly disappointed and voted C
If you told me we'd do it without Rodney, Shannon, Winfield, OJ Smith, and Shenault for most of the year (not to mention Annexstad who looked so good in the non-con, as well as Mo for a few games and others here and there), I'd say the team overcame a lot and would vote B.
If you told me we'd go to a bowl despite getting SMOKED by Illinois, Nebraska, and Maryland, I would've voted D.
If you told me all of the above happened, but we beat Wisconsin, I'd land on C.
B-
6-6 isn’t great but it was an improvement and the season ended on a high note.
