Too bad for isu grads not everyone who reads this thread will ignore the obvious holes in their arguments. Keep posting them though. Very entertaining.
Why is the B1G getting disrespect?

You can afford a bad loss if you play a home and away against the top of your conference., How many times did Indiana, play the top 3 of the Big 10, Purdue, MSU, Maryland? I believe only 1 time each. If they add 3 more games against these teams, and only play 1 against Minny, Illinois, Nebraska, they have the same number of wins? There is always a chance, but would wager it would be slim one.
Kentucky played their 2 conference tourney teams twice..
Virginia played UNC, Miami, Louisville twice,
The unbalanced schedule changes how teams are looked at, just because you win a conference does not mean you are better than the 2nd or 3rd place team.
MSU also has a victory over the top team in the country. Indiana lost to UNLV and Wake outside of the conference, which are bad losses given they were at a neutral site.
If Iowa beats Penn State they probably would have been seeded ahead of Indiana (MSU, Purdue, 4 games against vs 2 for the Hoosiers)
Just win. That's all that matters. We have a chance to land several in the Sweet 16. Hopefully the B1G is tops.
This is fair, if the Big 12 doesn't make a lot happen in the tournament this year with the draws that specially KU, OU, WVU and ISU got I will absolutely agree that the conference is overrated. 2-3 of those teams should make the elite 8 based on seeding alone.
