No they don’t . We’re 30+ better than them in the NET, they have 1 road win more than we do and we beat them head to head in our only meeting. Not even close. People seem to forget that road record is already factored in the NET. Body of work, guys. Teams are not going to get double evaluated by the committee on just how many road wins they have. The Committee is also aware that Rutgers has gone down to the final horn in most of its road losses. Illinois by 3, Penn State by 1, Iowa by 5 when they had closed it to 1 with less than a minute to go. We win one of the next two games, we are in.

Indiana is 8-11 in Q1/Q2 games, with 6 Q1 wins and 0 Q3/Q4 losses.
Rutgers is 7-10 in Q1/Q2 games, with 3 Q1 wins and 1 Q3 loss.
Their wins are impressive..
Michigan St and Florida St..the latter equal to SHU but their Big 10 wins slightly better even as we beat them. Also key difference q1 road win at Minn. Also didnt lose to acc also ran and A 10 also ran
I believe RU needs to win two more. Too many other bubble teams coming on strong.
Doesn't a net difference of 34 vs. 54 and us beating them HTH more than cover them winning at Minnesota?
Kind of irrelevant before the end of the B1G tournament anyway. If either team loses out while the other wins out this week, it will be clear. If both go 1-1 this week, I'd say that is also clearly to our advantage: either we beat another top 15 team, or we get a Q1 road win. That's better IMO than them getting a home win vs. one of their foes.

No? Overall NET and HTH matchups aren't really anything more than maybe a tiebreak at best.... and right now, it's not a tie based on overall resume.
not really...forget about the overall NET ranking....head to head is somewhat relevant but their wins are better and they didnt lose at Pitt/St Bonnies, they beat UConn/ND neutral site
