The Gophers didn't climb back into the Top 25 with their 51-14 win over Iowa, but they received enough votes to sit No. 27 in the Coaches Poll and No. 30 in the AP Poll.
Minnesota has yet to crack the AP Top 25 this season but sat at No. 24 in the Coaches Poll before getting upset at Illinois two weeks ago.
Next Saturday's opponent, Ohio State, climbed to No. 8 in the latest AP Poll and No. 7 in the Coaches Poll after its 49-37 win over Michigan State on Saturday.
This will be the Gophers first game against a Top 10 team since they lost to then-No. 8 California 35-21 on Sept. 19, 2009.
