Big Ten seeding matrix

Didn't see this particular link posted here, but it's laid out really nice to show the seeding for the Big Ten Tournament.

Scroll down to "The Top Six" matrix.

Top Six seeding possibilities

That does make it a little easier to grasp the scenarios.

MSU is the most likely 3 and 5 seed. Yeah, sure does help me grasp the scenario better.

All I can say is, go Hoosiers. That made my fingers hurt.

So, now with indy loss it's down to pu and illanoy.

Hard to say this, but c'mon ill. Step up and win one today.

 

[BubsFinn]

Really would have liked the three seed. I hate you, Yogi.

Can someone explain why if Purdue wins tonight and OSU win tomorrow how Iowa ends up the 4 seed? How does OSU winning give us the nod over Purdue?

I could be wrong, but I believe OSU winning makes a 4 team tie at 12-6. Tiebreaker is record against those involved. I think MSU gets the 3 with a winning record, OSU falls to 6 with a losing record and we are tied with Purdue. Rather than go to head to head, which would make sense, I've seen people say that it goes to record against top teams in conference right down the line. Both have .000 winning pct against Wiscy, our win v Maryland breaks the tie and we are 4th. I didn't check any of that, just running on memory so probably not correct haha.

We are 4 or 5.

4 if PUR L or OSU W
5 if PUR W and OSU L

So if PUR L don't care what OSU does.
If PUR W we need to root for OSU to beat WIS

We can be a 4 seed if OSU beats Wisconsin, not sure why.

As I undertand it, an O$u win puts us in a three way tie with them and Purdue. Using the three way tie criteria, we come out on top. Using the two way tie criteria (if O$u loses to Wisconsin) we get beat by Purdue. Ask the Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech football teams about three way ties. Someone always gets screwed.
The turd we left in Evanston has returned to stink up our BTT placement. Had we just won that game, we would possibly be looking at a 2 seed in the BTT because we have the tie breaker over Maryland.

Why do so many posters point to that game as the culprit and not, say, home against Minnesota?

Agreed. Home loss to minny was much worse.

Funny how people look at it differently. To me, I always look back to the loss at Purdue as one that slipped away.
