I get it; neither one started the season ranked and neither is a blue blood but undefeated is undefeated. They both had soft OOC schedules and backloaded conference schedules but I feel like they deserve more love than they are getting especially when there are still poll voters out there casting 1st place votes for a Clemson team that is going to get exposed for who they really are if they finish their schedule unscathed.

Because Minnesota hasn't been battle tested. There's Like, but yeah, no LOVE (yet?).

Minnesota Barely beat a (high ranked) FCS team, GA-Southern, and Fresno. And they just got past Purdue by a TD. That was their 4-0 start.

BUT, they seem to be improving, and are 8-0. But 3 out of their remaining 4 games are the truly challenging ones. THAT will be the test, if they can go 2-2 or better.

Baylor? I could see more of a reason to raise an eyebrow why they aren't liked more.

I think it's because they've had a great record before and floundered due to weak OOC games, in the past.

They won @K-State, but that was before K-State upset Oklahoma. But they Barely beat Rice who sucks. And their other 2 OOC games were NOT against challenging teams, even for a 4-8 B12 team.

The rest of their schedule should be interesting -- they have 5 whole games remaining. They'll get their love, if they win a ton down the road.
