Bracketology 2/19/21

The weirdest resume so far is Minnesota's. At home, they might be the best team in the country. Wins include Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, and Purdue. Those wins rank with any team in the country. The problem is on the road: 0-8. You read that correctly, not a single victory.

In a normal season, no team would be even considered without any road wins. The committee has indicated that they value performance away from home, and have penalized teams with poor road records. However, Minnesota might be extended a mulligan for the circumstances of the season. They can, however, make their lives much easier by beating Penn State in Happy Valley.
