22-23 BIG TEN Projections

[IUc2016 7,121]

Big Ten conference play kicks off tonight with Illinois at Maryland. Now that we are basically a month into the season I think we have a much better feel for where teams are vs projection. But obviously until mid January it is difficult to tell the contenders from the pretenders.

My power rankings at the start of big ten play:

1. Purdue (GROSS, but they have the two best wins)

2. Indiana

3. Illinois

4. Maryland

5. Iowa

6. Ohio State

7. Michigan State

This is where it gets messy....

8. Wisconsin

9. Penn State

10. Rutgers

11. Michigan

12. Nebraska

13. Northwestern

14. Minnesota

I think there are a clear top 7 that will make the tournament. Wisconsin will probably make it, but their offense is horrendous. At this point it looks like Penn State, Rutgers, and Michigan will be the closest to bubble teams.
