Per USA Today, here is the preseason top 25 for 2016-17. As you can see, just 3 B1G teams make the Top 25 cut:

Sounds boring.

Hey I know! They should let Iowa win the championship next year to mix things up and attract a new generation of fans to the game of basketball. It'd be like they actually weren't just having a circle-jerk of the same teams winning every year.

Wouldn't that be a swell idea....

It sounds like MSU is going to get Jackson who might just be the best of the incomming FR and this years group looks like the best in awhile. If Davis come back MSU could be a top 5 team in the nation.

Indiana needs atleast Williams to come back which I think he will and then I think they are a top 15 team. Wisconsin will be a tough veteran team with a head coach that will have a full cycle to build his rising team. Maryland needs Trimble to come back. They get Wiley back from injury and Carter will likely be back which should keep Maryland a borderline top 25 team. Purdue will be right there as well. I think 6th - 8th will be wide open for the taking between Iowa, Illinois, Northwestern and Michigan. I think Iowa has a legit shot at 6th next year.

Iowa at 7th or 8th sounds about right.

Jackson is most likely going to Kansas

Jackson is most likely going to Kansas

Bridges was asked a question after the McDonalds game about how he and his future teammates have stayed in contact and how they have been working together before the next college basketball season begins and in the middle of his answer he brought up Jackson and then stumbled, paused and then in a way covered it up. I agree I think its 50/50 MSU and Kansas at this point but many think Bridges slipped and gave a big hint away.

If Jackson goes to MSU in a way it could be his best chance at winning a title. MSU is bringing in the best recruiting class IMHO in the Izzo era and if Davis comes back they could have the best two deep lineup next to Duke next season.
