Gophers tied for 52nd Best Football Team

According to ESPN.com, the Gophers are tied for the 52nd best football team with Pitt and Washington over the past 10 years (1997-2006).

I don't know. They seemed crappier than that. I guess getting to mid-low tier bowl games every year is something. Barely.

They're ranked higher than Air Force, which always seemed to win a lot of games. Or maybe that was a long time ago. I don't remember.

And Pitt had Larry Fitzgerald, that alone should make them rank higher than the Gophers. Although the Gophers did have Billy Cockerham, which is pretty awesome too.
