I thought 1 MD loss + RU over Minn would get us the 7 seed next week?

I think that is true. We split both games and we both beat Illinois but we defeated Purdue and I think Maryland split with Purdue. The most important thing though is for us to win Saturday in any way that we can. we need to bounce back.

wisconsin is involved if they lose their last game...3 team 10-10, Wisky 6, MD 7, RU 8
This is true. If Iowa loses at home to Wisconsin, then Wisconsin 6 and we are 7 if Maryland loses at least one and we win.

We also get 7th seed if we lose and Maryland loses twice.

its an interesting game thats for sure. MD really off tonight, NW can steal this if they value their posssessions

all the pundits on tv prematurely saying Terps were locks but they at 4 games above 500 are facing the same situation of RU with 2 games left and a tourney game, you dont want to lose all of them....14-13 and they would be in trouble again

So RU can still finish 7th....

RU beats Minny
MD loses to Penn State
Michigan State loses at least 1 of 2 to Michigan

or

RU beats Minny
MD beats Penn St
Wisconsin beat Iowa

or

RU loses Minny
MD loses PSU
Mich St loses both

RU can not be the 7th if Wisc loses, MD wins, RU wins

I just looked at Maryland's schedule. For some reason I thought they had a lot of impressive wins. Other than at Illinois (obviously huge) and at Wisconsin (not so impressive anymore) their wins are very pedestrian.

road wins at Illinois and Wisconsin are pretty big

at Rutgers
Purdue
Minnesota 2x
MSU

I really dont know why you think thats not good.

overall their resume is a notch higher than Rutgers because of those road wins

A small notch higher than Rutgers. They split with Purdue, RU won the only meeting. Those two road wins are the difference. They lost to Northwestern and Indiana things RU didn't do

RU lost to Nebby thats worse than those two losses. RU lost to Michigan State too

road wins are a premium...they won at Illinois and at Wisconsin so those are bigger wins then RU beating Illinois and Purdue at home so yes thats why they are a notch higher

Committee values road wins

again its not like they are way ahead of RU, but I would seed them better right now based on the team sheet

Just beat Minny and everything will take care of itself. I'm looking at the bigger picture, the NCAA tourney. A win against Minny secures our NCAA bid whether we win a B1G or not.

Once you get past the top six BIG teams the parity /futility is over whelming .Rutgers,Maryland,Indiana ,Minnesota and Michigan State are all on the Titanic .A few still might be saved and get a NCAA bid The rest will have to face the wrath of fan bases and the media.
