The SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 is out and unsurprisingly the Minnesota Golden Gophers are nowhere to be seen. The Gophers are coming off a big rivalry win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, meaning they get to keep Floyd of Rosedale for another year. The Gophers were able to snap a four game losing streak by rallying back late to beat the Hawkeyes 22-21.
It's no shock the Golden Gophers haven't been on the BlogPoll as they're clearly a team in transition. They're just 2-6 on the season and have been pounded in the majority of their games. The 21 points allowed to the Hawkeyes was the least the Gophers have given up since opening against Southern Cal, who scored just 19 points. I don't think the Gophers will hit any blog poll this season, but Jerry Kill seems to be the right man to get them back on track.
