[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1176985, member: 3372"] Here's an update after everyone's played 2 games. Things will start getting less regular with bye weeks kicking in soon. Iowa's now the favorite after their impressive 2-0 start against MSU and Purdue. Still a close race at the top, but that's a huge jump for Iowa. After their home win over MSU, the the forecast gave them only a 5% chance of winning the B1G, so they've gone from a 1-in-20 to a 1-in-3 chance by virtue of the win at Purdue. [ATTACH]2586.vB[/ATTACH] Not surprisingly, Iowa's now getting the most benefit from tiebreakers. They do still have to play MSU/PU again, so that effect isn't as strong as it could be if they win one or both of the rematches. In terms of our Illini, tiebreakers are somewhat unfriendly to us right now - my guess is that's coming from runs with multi-team ties where UM/OSU are included. [ATTACH]2587.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
