The Golden Gophers (7-0, 2-0 Big Ten) were ranked No. 23 in the preseason poll, but debuted at No. 11 in the first regular season poll on Jan. 14, and were ranked 12th last week. Minnesota moved into the Top 10 after scoring 196.800 points in a quad meet victory against then-No. 1 Michigan, No. 20 Central Michigan and Iowa State on Saturday.
Minnesota is among five Big Ten programs ranked in the Top 25. Michigan tops the list at No. 3, while defending champion Nebraska is seventh, Minnesota is 10th, Ohio State is 18th, and Illinois is 19th.
