1/28

1. Purdue
2. Wisconsin
3. Illinois
4. Northwestern
5. Michigan State
6. Nebraska
7. Maryland
8. Iowa
9. Rutgers
10. Ohio State
11. Minnesota
12. Indiana
13. Penn State
14. Michigan

right now maybe only 5 NCAA definites with Nebby maybe a last 4 in right now and Maryland and Iowa needed huge 2nd half seasons to snag bids.

schools 9-14 are very very close, almost interchangable at this point. I cannot believe how bad Indiana and Ohio State have been lately.

2/5

1. Purdue
2. Illinois
3. Wisconsin
4. Michigan State
5. Nebraska
6. Northwestern
7. Maryland
8. Iowa
9. Minnesota
10. Penn State
11. Rutgers
12. Indiana
13. Ohio State
14 Michigan

I think Big 10 still in line for 6. Nebby is going to have to take care of that road issue at some point and remember their non conference sos is over 300 so similar to RUs profile from a few years back, great conference wins and poor road/non conference mark

Maryland/Iowa/Minnesota all need a ton of work. Their NET numbers and non conference stuff isnt good. Even if these schools get to 19-12/10-10 they have flimsy resumes. Going to need to stack Q1 wins but not many available

Penn State seems a cut below those 3. Have shown ability to jump up but have a tough next 5 coming up

Rutgers, Indiana, and Ohio State probably in the next grouping. The latter 2 utter disappointments. Although Indiana is 5-6, they do not pass any eye test. Ohio State is following the same path they did last year. Michigan is a total dumpster fire.

If we go 11-9 including a sweep of Wisconsin, we likely tie them at 11-9 in conference and we would own the tiebreaker, and good chance we finish 6th.
