Minnesota Golden Gophers
Big Ten program under P.J. Fleck. The 2026 show read starts from program floor: Minnesota may not be explosive, but Fleck's track record, returning production, and the Drake Lindsey / Darius Taylor offensive core make 5.5 wins look low if the Gophers improve away from home.
