Minnesota's a pretty good team, so you're wrong there. The problem is their coach. A couple of years ago they blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead against Michigan. When he has the lead, Mason coaches the 4th quarter like he's about to wet himself. He's awful. A decent coach would've never let that game come to that. Minnesota's 6-7 and got plastered by the only good teams they played (Michigan, OSU, Wisco and Cal all beat them by at least 14, and other than Michigan, a home rivalry game, that margin was at least 25). If Minnesota is a good team, then there are about 50-55 great teams in college football. Minnesota has usually had a good offense but a shaky at best defense. This year, their offense wasn't as good. They were not a good team this year.
