Illinois has been #4 in NET for a while now. Is there some other bracketology associated with that?With tOSU loss, NET has moved Illinois into a #1 seed.
I think Michigan still has yet to play the two most talented teams (Illinois and Iowa). They still have a lot to prove.
Improving? They beat IU yesterday and have lost 6 of their last 9 games. I mean it's a decent win against IU but they are not improving.

Anyone who thinks Michigan has locked up conference champs hasn't been paying attention to the conference this year.Well that's probably the end of our chance at a conference champ. At least we have the inside track for a 1 seed right now, which is good because I'd like to avoid Baylor, Gonzaga, and Michigan for as long as possible.
Playing someone tough in this case Purdue does not mean you are improving. That Iowa was a couple of weeks ago not a couple of months ago. A loss is a loss no matter whether played tough or not. Winning at IU is not that impressive. MSU still has a long way to go.I mean, let's not get too dramatic here either way, but they went from a 30-point embarrassment to Iowa on their home floor to playing Purdue tough in West Lafayette to beating an IU team on their home floor that has been tough at home (beat Iowa, took us to OT). Throw in the rivalry factor, and a loss to MSU in one of those games isn't exactly of the same shock value as a loss to Nebraska is all I was trying to get at.
Absolutely agree. Not saying they will lose every game left on their schedule, but the absolutely could.I think Michigan still has yet to play the two most talented teams (Illinois and Iowa). They still have a lot to prove.
If we finish out the season 0-5, we’ll be at 16-10 on the season with a losing record in Quad 1 games. Probably ranked in 15-20 range. We aren’t getting a 3 seed.Give me some of whatever you’re smoking. Even if we go 0-5, I don’t think we fall further than a 3 seed.
Fake newsCurrent seed predictions depending on how we close out the season:
5-0/4-1: 1 seed
3-2: 2 seed
2-3: 3 seed
1-4: 4 seed
0-5: 5 seed
At least you tried!Sorry guys, I put a nice chunk of change on UM to guarantee they lost. Unfortunately I actually won this one.
It wasn’t a whiff as more as Mark Smith trying to burn it all down on his way out. Liddell wanted no part of that political nonsense. It sucks that Underwood got sucked into the gutter on that. Mark Smith was a stain in our basketball history.Coach Underwood biggest recruiting whiff, Ej Liddle. We have no one on roster who can match up with him wow.. Maybe Ayo on perimeter and Granderson and Georgi down low. If rest of team beats us, so be it.
Liddell never really considered us. Nothing Underwood could have done.Coach Underwood biggest recruiting whiff, Ej Liddle. We have no one on roster who can match up with him wow.. Maybe Ayo on perimeter and Granderson and Georgi down low. If rest of team beats us, so be it.
I think Sescillini meant losing Mark Smith hurt us in recruiting Liddell.Nope not Mark Smith, Alan Griffin! Wow: alan 16.7 per game, 8 boards, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. No way he wouldve lost minutes to Granderson. He shooting high% from 3 , fiedl and nearly 80% from free throw line. Damn that hurts.
The announcers of the Michigan OSU game today said on the broadcast that the final BIG ratings would be based upon winning percentages. However, maybe they made that comment up, but I doubt it.Only if they base on percentage. We sweep our games and Mich loses to us...17-3 vs 15-2.
We need to sweep and let the chips fall and win B10 tourney.
We do all that and we will be a top seed in NCAA and know that we are playing our best basketball going to tourney.
Well, we looked really good yesterday and I hope that is the team we see the rest of the way, but the Minn team we played had one of their better players out with a broken finger, and a center that could barely run. Ohio State won in Champaign by 6 and controlled the game, and Michigan just won at OSU by 5....not likely to win outAgain...the only team that beats Illinois is...wait for it.....Illinois!
The team that showed up yesterday wins out.
We are not the same team that lost to OSU in Champaign. Not at all. Us winning out does not seem as daunting to me after watching that Michigan game. That Dickinson character has to try to move Kofi? Yeah, good luck with that.Well, we looked really good yesterday and I hope that is the team we see the rest of the way, but the Minn team we played had one of their better players out with a broken finger, and a center that could barely run.

Unless something has changed, the most recent statement I've read about conference standings is that the league office and the ADs are deliberately not making any decisions yet on how to award the conference title, because they want to avoid a repeat of the perceived football debacle. So until they put out a clear statement to the contrary, I think everyone else is just making stuff up.The announcers of the Michigan OSU game today said on the broadcast that the final BIG ratings would be based upon winning percentages.

Literally changes and is updated as games are played.NET is a stand alone "predictor".
