With Minnesota coming off of a 9-4 record a year ago and with a new coach in PJ Fleck who is coming off of a thrilling season of his own, one might think the national prognostications for the Gophers might be fairly positive. Unfortunately, that definitely appears to not be the case. USA Today announced their preseason record projections for all 130 NCAA Football Teams on Monday, and well...lets just say they don’t foresee positive events this season for Minnesota.

By looking at the other teams records, you can extrapolate out that USA Today predicts the Gophers will lose at Oregon State in the non-conference and then will lose all of their Big Ten games with the exception of Purdue and Illinois.
