My Big 10 Power Rankings

[bac2therac]

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

think Purdue and MSU have final 4 potential and MSU got back on track last night by whooping Indiana. Ohio State I think is a cut below those two despite their win over MSU. After the top 3 its a pretty big dropoff. I think Michigan and Maryland make up the next tier both look solid enough for NCAA bids. Then after that Nebraska has surged to at least get in the conversation for a NCAA bid and Minnesota trying to right the ship but they need Amir Coffey back if they have any shot at securing that NCAA spot. After the top 7 its really a very tight knit grouping from 7-12...not much seperating Indiana, Northwestern, PSU, RU and Wisky. Now some may be positioned better than others to finish out strong but as of now none of these schools are really all that different based on results on the court thus far. Iowa and Illinois are clearly the two bottom feeders in the league and will all but assuredly playing on day 1 in the Big 10 tournament

Good rankings. I would move MSU down one or 2 spots having lost to OSU and Michigan and playing us to a tie in regulation.

Hoping to see this list again in a few weeks with RU sitting above Indy, PSU and NW.

Indiana is a hard team to figure out.
