In this week's upsets, I have Stanford beating Arizona, and Notre Dame beating Michigan.
Also, I have my #17 Gophers beating Maryland to improve to 8-0. What's interesting is that #13 Wisconsin is going to lose to #3 Ohio State, and it's very possible that #15 Texas loses to TCU, which means Minnesota could potentially jump all the way down to #14 or #13 after this weekend. That would be their highest ranking ever since I first started following them back in the 1980s. 😲
Going to enjoy the fun while it lasts, since the next week we play Penn State, and that might not end so well. I guess, though, that being unbeaten through Halloween ain't so bad. 🥂
Gophers looked strong again. Sooners wet the bed at Kansas State. Whiskey got exposed by tOSU Juggernaut. Clemson steamrolled. Penn State is lurking in striking distance. Texas should drop out of the top 25. Last but not least, my Cardinals are now the second best team in the ACC!
Even if Trump were to be revealed as the Dark Lord of the Sith, he's still better than the last four presidents we've had.
Wow - gotta frame this. Minnesota at #13, just above Michigan. 🙆♂️
Oh, and six teams from the B10 in the top 20. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Wow - Gophers upset the Nittany Lions! May be the greatest day in Minnesota college football in the last 30 years (much more meaningful of their upset of then-No. 2 Penn State in 1999, when I'm pretty sure Minnesota was unranked). Could Minnesota now get into the top ten? This is a big day.
They are going to really force the committee to look at them now. If they beat OSU in the Big Ten title game they have to get in. Who do they bump if that happens?

That would be great if we could make it to the Big Ten title game, but beating Iowa or Wisconsin are still difficult tasks.
I did find it interesting that Alabama only fell to a convenient ranking of #4 after its loss. Right now I still think Ohio State may be the team to beat.
Yep. I noticed before the game that ESPN computer simulations gave Iowa around a 61% chance of winning, so the loss wasn't unexpected. And, at least it was close in the end. Mind you, Minnesota has likely never been able to recruit well since the program is historically inept, so hopefully this changes some things for the years ahead.
