Not sure that was much of an upset. Not sure either Michigan State or Minnesota is that good. But Minnesota is doing badly, someone said they have the injury bug, which RU knows can do it to you.

I wouldn't diss Michigan State so much, but losing to Indiana and Northwestern in a row makes me leery.

Honestly, I don't think #18 losing to #23 on the road really is much of an upset, either, but the number of ranked B1G teams losing to lower-ranked or unranked teams this season is pretty incredible.

Shows why this team just needs to take it one game at a time, don’t look past any team. True any year but there seems to be more parity than usual in conference (at least 4 games in).
