[QUOTE="bleedsorangenblue, post: 1175019, member: 10413"] I think this is a generally correct analysis but doesn't take in to account continued growth and heart. I think we win a couple that we might be expected to lose and could win those 8 or 9 games. This may not be enough to get us into the tournament but, given the losses to personnel this year, will constitute a pretty good season. That said, I am not counting on it and just hope we can build for the following year, keep heads up, and fight without quitting. As for how the B1G shakes out, I see it this way: Michigan State Purdue Maryland Indiana Michigan Ohio State Northwestern Iowa Wisconsin Illinois Nebraska Penn State Minnesota Rutgers I am not at all confident about the above ranking. I think after the first 4, it becomes hard to predict. I kind of like Iowa and WI better than I have them ranked but don't see how they pass the others by at this point. Could WI really fall that low? I, of course, like Illinois better than I have them ranked but am trying to be realistic. Would love to see us do better than this. I am giving Northwestern the benefit of the doubt so far. They are going to have to prove themselves this year. [/QUOTE]
