Who in their right mind voted for Minnesota? That team is lousy.

{raises hand} I'll own that vote. Had 'em at #23 this week. A team that also received votes in both the writers & coaches polls btw.

They beat my previous #20 (Nebraska), made as much sense as anybody else in the list of pretenders that populate the bottom of the top 25.

At least I didn't vote for Virginia Tech the week after they lost to Duke (and before they lost to mighty Boston College)
