Big Ten Football: Week 6 Power Rankings

10. Minnesota

Week 6 result – 14-7 loss to Iowa

It’s hard to tell if Minnesota put up a good fight against Iowa or if Iowa is just a bad team. Coming off back-to-back losses, it’s more likely Iowa is just a bad team.

The Golden Gophers weren’t expected to make the playoffs, or break up the powerhouses of the Big Ten. This team was mediocre and they’ve stayed that way. All they can hope for after two losses is to win the rest of their winnable games and make a low end bowl.

Still having Wisconsin and Nebraska still on their schedule, this team isn’t going to finish with two loses. They just better hope theirs something left for them at the end of the season.
