Gophers sag in national rankings after first loss of the season at Iowa

The Gophers fell to No. 11 in Sunday's Associated Press top-25 poll.

Previously at No. 7, the highest ranking for the program since 1962, the Gophers dropped four spots after losing 23-19 at Iowa on Saturday, their first loss of the season. The Gophers are now 9-1 with a one-game lead on Wisconsin in the Big Ten West division race. Wisconsin came in at No. 14, and the Gophers will face them Nov. 30 at TCF Bank Stadium in a matchup that will likely decide which team heads to the Big Ten championship game.
