Vanderbilt is 0.7 higher but Rutgers I think indisputably had the better resume.
Lmfao
How is a team 5-13 ahead of us lol.
I get it doesn’t matter because we’re going nowhere, but seriously wtf
Rutgers has played the most Q1 games in the nation, 9 total, unfortunately we are 1-8. Speaks to the tough front loaded big ten schedule we’ve faced With a lot of road games Too. UConn Purdue and Marquette are next with 8 quad 1 games played. Thought that was interesting.
the good and bad Is not too many quad 1 opportunities remaining for RU. this isn’t a tourney team IMO, but you’d have to win Purdue and Wisc games, 3 of 4.

RU sos up to 15, will peak after the Purdue game maybe in the top 10 before settling back somewhere in the top 30 by seasons end
the non conference sos is 109 which is pretty solid...bryant and st peters helping that even with stonehill and liu dragging it down

RU at 99 ready to dip into the triple digits
Northwestern at 69 is clearly the Rutgers of 2022 with its 4-4 mark vs Q1 including wins over Purdue and Illinois but a loss to Chicago State and non conference sos of 315. Their SOR of 27 is a big time positive stat.
In the end they should be fine because its just one bad loss.
Meanwhile SHU down to 68 after 2 straight home losses. They are luckily going to end up right on that bubble at 19-12 by years end

Ironically, we are the worst loss for SHU as they have zero Q4 and one Q3 loss to RU. We are not likely moving up to become a Q2 (75) for SHU. I doubt we drop all the way back to a Q4 loss (161+, you never know), but if we dropped down that far we could drag down their resume. I think RU will end up a Q3 loss for them, if we’re their worst loss then that’s pretty good for their tourney hopes. They do have some upcoming Q4 games with GTown and DePaul.
Rutgers dips to 101
Purdue is 2
Princeton tumbles to 44
Seton Hall on a three game losing skid barely a Q1 game as they slip to 75

NET moves to 99, Purdue remains 2
RU is now 1-9 in Quad 1 games
Rutgers now has an overall sos of 13 and non conference sos of 162
RU looks to have 4 Q1, 5 Q2, and 3 Q3 games left on their schedule although this could shift a bit.

Can’t recall ever having an SOS of 13 or better. Seems to indicate that our toughest B1G games were front-loaded this season.
definitely...that 13 will end up falling back probably in the 20s or maybe 30s by season ends but RU will likely still wind up with a top 40 schedule and maybe top 30 depending how it all shakes out.
Compare to Indiana who had a very favorable early schedule before they were slammed with games vs top 3 in their last 3.

Rutgers up to 98
Penn State 127
Seton Hall up 10 to 64 by demolishing hapless De Paul on the road

Yep predictable tumble
Penn State shoots up right behind to 114 which is still last in the Big 10.

beatings will continue until morale improves
Rutgers up to 98.
How does Nebraska get in?
Nebraska(16-8) SOR 38
Q1 3-5 Q2 3-3 Q3 3-0 Q4 7-0,
7 games left, 4 Q3, 2 Q2s and 1 "Q1" for now
Q3 vs 104 Michigan
Q3 vs 100 Penn St
Q2 @ 97 Indiana
Q3 vs 83 Minnesota
"Q1" @ 72 Ohio St(lost 8 of last 9)
Q3 vs 98 Rutgers
Q2 @ 104 Michigan
Non Conference SOS 321
Their overall SOS is 41 without the next 7.
They have no chance of improving their resume after losing to NW.
What path do they have even if they go 7-0? I still say very small, not that they will go 7-0. They have home wins over Purdue, Wisc, Mich St, NW and 1-7 Road with @ Kansas St. Their resume and SOR will only get worse the next 7 games.

I would have to think there is zero chance a 23-8 Nebraska team would get left out.
Yeah 7-0 does it
6-1 75%
5-2 i would say 50/50 at best
And im saying this without having numbers crunched the field yet...getting closer
Issue is those 7 are the bottom part of the league. They desperately need road wins. Probably 2. Their non conference sos is trash. Would be a good team to watch in first four.

I know that but Nebraska isn't going 7-0 or even 6-1, they will lose at least one more at home and at least 1 more on the road, because they have proven they are horrible road team. They play BAD team defense.
The more I watch other B1G teams try to play defense, the more I appreciate what Pike does. Wisconsin @ Michigan and NEB @ NW

6-1 shouldn’t be a problem I don’t think. Still 8-9 in Q1 games, no bad losses and healthy loss total. Road record is a concern though at 1-7 (a rapidly deteriorating win at Kansas State) and they go at Indiana, Ohio State and Michigan. Might need all three.
great wins but they will have the two red flags of non conference sos and road mark. They will be helped by the fact that there isnt another Big 10 school breathing down their neck
this is a 6 team big league max...and it could be 5...in fact there is a scenerio where its just 4 if Michigan State flounders down the stretch and Nebby cannot win on the road...that would be something.
I mentioned in the picks thread that they need to find road wins. They are a really interesting case study. My gut tells me they still get in with 2 road wins and I don’t think they can afford losses to Michigan or OSU anyway. But, I wouldn’t want to be on the bubble with no only 1 road win.
