Wow. The conference is competitive, but only the top 2-3 would be competitive in any of the top conferences in the country
The Gophers "great" teams are 7th or 8th in the Big 10, which is a mediocre by comparison conference(SEC, ACC, Big 12, Pac 10) and this year they are down a notch.... The Bison will keep it respectable(38-21 or 38-24)
