So what slid Minnesota up that far past Wisconsin?
It's obviously not the only thing, but RPI for one. With Mark Hollis in charge, that shouldn't be any surprise. Minnesota 20, Wisconsin 36. Minnesota gets a bump for beating Arkansas and Vandy, lost close to FSU. I guess they get credit for better B1G wins despite losing twice to Wisconsin?
Also finished the season much stronger than Bucky.
Absolutely not saying it's right, but those are possible reasons.
Wisconsin was slotted as a 7 until they lost to Michigan in the final.
