Minnesota should be ranked well ahead of every team ranked 19th down, and several others ranked higher than that.

I can understand that... but to not even be ranked in a pre-season poll??? :scratch:

I would gladly give Minnesota our place (Michigan at 12th) and be unranked. Pre Season polls mean less than nothing. In all fairness Minnesota had one real good season (nice win vs. Auburn), next year will reveal more. The Golden Gophers will be fun to watch.

Truthfully, I like the unranked position. Just surprising.... like this past season didn't really happen.

So... maybe they'll take that, and use it to "prove it," to the non-believers.

Tennessee will be better than North Carolina. Pollsters are a buncha Brown nosers.

I'm not a super active participant so when I saw Minnesota wasn't in it, I was briefly surprised and really ready to comment on it. And then I saw this bitch was 19 pages long, and kind of figured someone had already noticed.

Just to be clear, we're all aware that last season's top 10 Minnesota team wasn't in the current projected top 25 and are generally surprised by that?

Also, I would really like some strong takes on how Bronko Nagurski and Mel Renfro would translate to modern football if anyone has the time.

Bronko was a giant for his time. So good that he was named to the All-America team at 3 different positions, 2 in the same season. He was SO good that the collegiate DEFENSIVE player of the year award is named after him, yet he was inducted into the NFL HOF as a Fullback. And was also a world champion wrestler, too.
