Right now, who do you think are the top 4 teams in the B1G based on how they're playing right now & who do you think will be top 4 at the end of Conference play? Go!

I still don't think Maryland is a great team but they find a way to squeak it out against bad to decent teams.  Michigan has been playing good ball and that road win at Nebraska was big for them.

I'm not a believer in MD

They play at MSU, Iowa, at OSU, Nebraska, then PU. Tough stretch.

Then last 3/4 Mich, at PU, and at IU

8 tough ones for Maryland all in a stretch.

I know we have a tough schedule but my gosh they can lose one and snowball to 4-5 losses.

IU has tough stretch of Iowa, at MSU, Nebraska, PU. But 3 of those being at home. Also play Maryland at home. I can see us dropping at MSU, but when we play at Iowa I think we steal it.

Purdue has Nebraska, @ MD, @Mich St, @ Mich. Northwestern, @ IU, MD, @Nebraska. That's tough!!

Iowa has it the easiest. Purdue, MD.
Indiana only real tough one in mid Feb.
Finish @ OSU, IU, @Mich.

Maryland's big ten wins are as follows northwestern twice, Ohio state, Rutgers, penn state, and their best win at wisky but yet no one says antything about their soft big 10 schedule to start

Yeah, because this is an IU board. Nobody here is gushing about Maryland beating some really bad teams, like they are with IU.

Fair enough.

 

And probs because they got so much love early, whereas most national talking heads still had questions about us.

Well Iu is beating bad teams by 30 Maryland not so much. So u have to put Iu first even if everyone is saying we are playing bad teams but so is Maryland

1. Iowa - they have the most impressive victories so far
2. Indiana- strong play so far in conference, undefeated
3. Maryland- super talented. enough said
4. Purdue- a couple tough Ls but still very formidable

NW at home took OT to get the win.  I believe PSU took them down to the last minute.  It took Melo a long 3 to win against Wiscy.  I would take that win at Wiscy any day of the week though.  I think they blew out O$U and Rutgers though.

[HoosierAloha 30,077]

I think I would actually put Michigan in at 4 right now over pu.  They have a better win (vs. Maryland) and not as bad of a loss (@Ill).  Their best road victories are about equal too, UM@Nebrasketball and pu @Wiscy.

[Brass Cannon 24,913]

1. Iowa - Best wins so far, although I don't think its a clear cut lead2

2. Indiana - Dominant play not against strongest competition but they have blown out the opponents at home and won close games on the road.  What more can you ask

3. Maryland - Weak schedule like IU, but they have won games.  Still not sold on them. 

4. Michigan - Had some struggles but they have won games when they needed too.

I can understand why Mark Turgeon was on the hot seat. On paper they should be at the top but I've got:
IU
Iowa
Maryland
Mich St

I swear the B1G agreed to something fishy when accepting Maryland into the B1G.
