Tons of surprises. Have to tip the hat to Nebraska on the 3-0 start after a pretty mediocre non conference finish. Still not convinced they are for real long term this year ie NCAA tourney but for now they deserve to be in the top 5
Wisconsin proving to be top dog right now with Purdue and Michigan State a notch behind but along way to go. I think Indiana needs to find a win and fast or their season could implode. Ohio State is down this year but still almost beat Purdue. That shows the fine line between schools 4-12. I think clearly Penn State and Rutgers are several notches below the rest. Illinois is a mystery team who as upside to surprise. Iowa is young so see a bottom half finish for them and no NCAA tourney but on a one game basis they are dangerous to play.
This weekend matchups...
Michigan State vs Penn State at Palestra.....This game will be closer than you would think, MSU will not play as well as they did vs RU but have too much talent here
Maryland at Michigan.....very intriguing game, UM has been shaky in its first two games barely escaping PSU and losing to Iowa but I think they and the crowd will be hyped for this one and edge out the mystery Terps.
Illinois at Indiana....Hoosiers can't lose another home game can they? Hard to imagine, Illinois has improved but Indiana is desperate here and will win
Northwestern at Nebraska....its only game 4 but this is a game with NCAA implications already. Nwstern needs to stop a minislide, havent played bad at all, Nebby are the miracle kids but I have hunch that it ends today after that emotional Iowa win...Collins and Cats escape with a win.
Wisconsin at Purdue....showdown for Big 10 best comes earlier...should be a fantastic game. I like the Badgers here to pull the road upset
Rutgers at Iowa....Iowa so young and improving rapidly but how will they bounce back after that hardfought double overtime loss. RU needs to get on track with a solid effort after some dismal games and I think this will be close at times but Iowa pulls away
Ohio State at Minnesota....OSU almost pulled the upset over Purude but now run into a hot Gopher squad who are brimming with confidence. Little Ricky gets another one
