I love the CFN rationale for Minnesota:

Minnesota can't take anything for granted, but starting off with a non-conference schedule against Northern Illinois, at Bowling Green, Montana State and Florida Atlantic doesn't get too much easier

Excuse me? There's two teams they lost to last year. How can you count that as easy? When you lose at home to a D-II team, NOTHING should be counted as easy. The writer seems to give them every benefit of the doubt.

the Gophers, with a slightly better defense, would've beaten Bowling Green, Florida Atlantic, Northwestern, North Dakota State, and Wisconsin, and possibly Iowa and Purdue.

Right. I'm sure ALL it would've taken was a slightly better defense and they would have been 7-5. Let the Big Ten bias begin now. I don't know why I'm surprised.

Idiotic - for example:

NIU beats Toledo, Miami & CMU and then loses to EMU.

Toledo beats CMU, Miami & us and then loses to NIU. Major-

These guys have NO clue!

I take CFN.com with a BiG grain of salt...half the time they make no sense at all. With a slightly better defense, BG would have been 10-2 last year.

About 409 hours to go....GO FALCONS!!!!!

With a slightly better defense, Ben Rothlesberger would never have a win against BGSU!!!
