So the second round of the College Football Playoff Rankings were released last night. Your Golden Gophers, on the heals of beating previously #4 Penn State, jumped from 17th all the way up to #8. A significant jump after being able to put to bed the argument that they haven’t played anybody.
Last week the undefeated Gophers sat behind six teams that had 2 losses. Seemed crazy and disrespectful. But the rebuttal to Gopher fans that this team really hasn’t played anybody was accurate and the team had an opportunity to change that narrative with #4 Penn State coming to town.
