It will be interesting to see who actually makes the tournament and where. With Maryland a 3 and MSU a 4, makes me think Iowa is looking at a 7-10 seed.
 
Look who started this. Of course he’s wrong. We’re 8-5 with 7 left. In my opinion worst case scenario is 2-5 to go 10-10 which could drop us to a 7. I think 4-3 gets a 5 possible 4 and 3-4 gets a 6. Just my opinion.
 
The problem with seeding the B1G is that I agree with media that says they are by far the deepest conference but that they don’t have any teams that seem poised for a Final Four run. Obviously they call it Madness for a reason, and maybe they have 8 teams that could... but when they are all at the top it doesn’t give the impression anybody can be dominant. Just win baby and let things take care of themselves

Watched San Diego State vs Air Force last night, and with all due respect to SDS, if that team played in the Big Ten it would be battling for a 10th-place finish. Sure, it's undefeated, but how would it do facing Purdue, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan State, Iowa, et. al 20 times? At least five or six Big Ten teams should be seeded higher than SDS if you look at the quality of the teams and how they've fared against other really good teams in really difficult places to play. IMHO.

Lol, after Purdue he was predicting Iowa to lose out and miss the tournament.

His lack of connection to reality is kind of entertaining actually.

Theres probably 5 or 6 teams that could easily make the final 4.

The rest of college basketball is nothing special.

That's kind of how I feel about the entirety of the rest of college basketball.

I've watched more this year than I have in a while and man is the field weak.

The normal blue bloods are no where near what they usually are.

I feel like Baylor would be just another team in the top group of the big ten.

I'm going to suggest that given the quality of conference play this year, most BIG teams under consideration are being slightly undervalued,.. I think we over perform in the tournament...
 
The B10 appears to have the most depth as a conference this year. That is not to say all of the teams deserve a top seed. They still lost a lot of games.

I still maintain the B10 earned 8-9 bids in the non-conference schedule. The conference schedule then sorts out who those teams are.

I absolutely think it’s possible 4 or 5 teams could have a shot and agree that there isn’t anything special about any team. I do think that the lack of a standout dominant team hurts, so there isn’t any team that

I hope you are right. How pissed off would people be if the B1G got 4 in the final four?
