Minnesota Cracks Top 25 In AP, USA Today Polls

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The University of Minnesota's comeback from a 1-11 record last year crossed another milestone Sunday when the team was ranked in the top 25.

Both The Associated Press and USA Today ranked the Gophers as the 25th best team in the nation.

The Gophers are 6-1 this season after a 27-20 victory at Illinois last week.

Minnesota next plays at Purdue on Oct. 25. Three of the final four games are at home against Northwestern, Michigan and Iowa with a trip to Wisconsin also on tap.

As several Big Ten rivals struggle around them, the Gophers are poised to play in a quality bowl game if they can keep it up.
