I was torn between putting Minnesota or Wisconsin in the 10 spot, but I ultimately decided on Minnesota.  The season for the Golden Gophers is slipping away fast.  The Gophers played just one game this week but suffered a critical home loss to Northwestern.  Without Reggie Lynch, the Gophers simply are not the same title team, as even with Amir Coffey back in the lineup, Minnesota is struggling.

The road gets tougher for Minnesota.  This week begins with a trip to Iowa Ciy on Tuesday night to take on the Hawkeyes.  After that, the Gophers will stay on the road and play at Michigan next Saturday.  However, this week is only the beginning of a very difficult stretch for Minnesota.
