Serious Question here... What did Minnesota do to deserve a top 25 ranking?
They played TCU close, and lost. No shame in losing to the Frogs they are a top 5 team.
They then beat now 2-2 Colorado 23-20. They also sneaked by 1-3 Kent State 10-7. Finally they were able to creep by Ohio in part due to a terrible procedure call.
For this reason I can't take the S&P+ seriously.
