With the Rutgers loss to Nebraska, it just gave 7 conference teams, UM, MSU, Indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, and PSU, an extra Q2 win. We are still 13-10, Q1 4-8 Q2 4-2 Q3 3-0, @ Minnesota game is a Q1, if Minn wins @ PSU, Minn will stay a Q1 even after a home loss to RU, 5-8, 4-2, 3-0. If NW and MSU get above 75, our resume becomes 14-10, 6-9, 4-1, 2-0, H10-4 R4-6, not bad
In 2018-19, tOSU(19-14) got in as an at large 11 seed, 4-10, 5-3, 5-1
122 Nebraska(7-17) @ 6 Iowa, @ 89 Northwestern,
89 NW(6-14) vs 29 Md, vs 122 Nebraska
77 MSU(13-10) vs Indiana, @ 2 UM, vs 2 UM Q1 4-9 Q2 3-1(7), 3-0(10)
70 Minnesota(13-12) @ 52 PSU, vs 38 RU Q1 4-10 Q2 1-1(5), 5-1(10)(NW)
57 Indiana(12-12) @ 77 MSU, @ 22'Purdue Q1 3-9 Q2 6-1(9), 1-2(10)(MSU,NW)
52 PSU(8-13) Vs 70 Minnesota, @ 28 Md,
The key is getting NW and keeping PSU above 75 and Nebraska above 135 knowing they can't get in without auto bid. It eliminates home Q3 losses by Minn and Indiana to NW, while getting MSU back above 75 with Minnesota and Indiana, best case
Indiana and Michigan St have the better resumes. Minnesota needs work. PSU win, RU loss, 5-10, 1-2, but would need a Q2 win and Q1 loss in B1G tourny for 5-11, 2-2 to have a chance, NO team got an at large with Q1 AND Q2 under .500, like 5-6, 3-4 in 2018-19, Q1 under .500, Q2 over .500, Q1 .500, Q2 over, Q1 over, Q2 close to .500, Iowa St, a 6 seed with Q1 8-7, Q2 3-4 but got upset by 11 seed tOSU.

Where does 4-8, 4-2, 3-0 fit at 13-10?
Kind of like an Ole Miss resume at 8, which we currently stand.
If the B1G falls right and we win @Minn, 6-9, 4-1, 2-0 before B1G Tourny seed jumps much higher, If you were wondering, I had all this written out before the cancellation of the season for seeding purposes last year.
1 seeds in NIT
UNCGr(28-6) *2-6 2-0* 6-0
Alabama(18-15) *3-10 7-3* 5-2
TCU(20-13) *2-9 7-4* 6-0
Indiana(17-15) *6-9 3-6* 2-0, double losing record
I'll guarantee a few people in the B1G are running scenarios to get in as many as they can for this exact reason.
"Units” are what the NCAA calls its tally of wins, automatic qualifiers and at-large bids that determine how much conferences are paid.
The value of each unit will be $280,300 when payments are made in 2019 and $282,100 in 2020.
From 1997 through 2018, the Big Ten Conference has been paid the most at $340.4 million, while the Southwest Athletic Conference has earned $25 million, nearly the minimum it can earn given that all leagues make money from their teams that qualify automatically.
