[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1179869, member: 4069"] We don't have a terrible resume right now, thanks to our difficult SOS. Yes we've lost a lot of games, but we've lost to (approx ranking) 129 NF 106 Chat 58 OSU 34 Prov 33 ND 26 ISU 21 Mich 8 MSU Unfortunately, we have a lot of crappy wins, with Yale probably top-100, and Purdue, top-25. That's just not much --certainly not enough to get bid consideration. However if you think we're going to be a lot better than we've been thus far, we'll have opportunities for some decent wins that could build our resume. Nebraska may be borderline top-100 Indiana is top-25 Iowa is top-25 Northwestern is top-100, close to top-50 Wisc is top-100 Maryland is top-25 Given the caliber of team on our schedule, I don't think we'll need a gaudy record, in fact, just the opposite --if we get in, we'll have won a few of the tough games, and held serve on the crap teams (Rutgers, Minney, PSU) 10-8 plus a win or two in the BTT I expect will put us in decent shape, especially if the committee can point to us being healthier and playing better later in the season, should Black or Thorne come back. Gotta LOT of work to do though. [/QUOTE]
