The coaches poll is truly one of the stupidest things ever created. Do you think any coach worth his salary is watching games outside his conference in his free time right now? The overweighting of the mid-major and even lesser leagues also are aimed at reducing the power conf. bias.

Which creates a different bias! Point is, just like in football, no coach can watch things outside his league and so he has a flunky on his staff complete the weekly ranking.

And the AP writers have a firm grasp on what is happening with every team in every conference?

And everyone got Michigan wrong, too.

Remember when we all thought the top 5 teams in the B1G were Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, MSU, and Rutgers? Ohio State & Michigan were considered 6th and 7th best.

Crazy 2020 and 2021 (so far)!

And here's something even more crazy: I would not be surprised if Duke &/or Kentucky won their conference tournaments, where they get an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Both teams are playing better. And just watch; Iowa (a 2 seed) will face Duke (a 10 seed) in the 2nd round!!! @Hawksfor3 will lose his mind if that happens!! ;)

Houston loses to Wichita State - which is nowhere to be found in the Top 40 NCAA Net.
Ohio State loses to #3 Michigan in a closely fought contest from beginning to end.

Houston jumps over OSU. Yeah . . . makes a lot of sense.
It doesn't matter. The B1G has 4 LEGIT FF teams in UM, OSU, Illinois, and Iowa. Anyone of those four teams can beat the others on any given day, That UM-OSU game yesterday could have went OSU's way very easily - heck of a game. If you look at the records, OSU has 5 losses, Illinois has 5 losses, and Iowa has 6 but yet all 3 are in the top 10 - OSU at #4 and Illinois at #5. Just shows how much respect the pollsters have for the conference

UM/OSU was a phenomenal game. As good a game as I’ve seen all year.
 
The losses to Minnesota, @IU, and at home to OSU, have cost us a 1 seed. If we win all but one of our final games, including the BTT, we are at worst the second highest 2 seed, at best 3rd highest 1

Let’s just worry about beating Michigan, and the seeding will fall into place.

Right now I think Illinois is the team to beat in the BTT. Michigan is neck-and-neck but the Illini are finally playing up to expectations and right now, I don’t think the Wolverines can beat the Illini if both teams brought their A game. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Iowa isn’t all that far behind but they are still at a disadvantage when it comes to facing the real heavyweights.
