[QUOTE="Newman, post: 1253472, member: 528847"] I know I posted part of this in one of the other threads but our schedule is becoming even more favorable. Indiana, Purdue, Wisconsin: In and pretty good seeds. Michigan, Michigan State: 6th-8th seed but still comfortably in. I'm trusting that Izzo will recover. Illinois, tOSU, Maryland, Northwestern: Bubble but 2 teams in. Minnesota, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, Rutgers: Ehh Our schedule: @Maryland tOSU @Indiana Michigan @Purdue @Michigan Iowa @PennState Wisconsin Minnesota @Northwestern Penn State @Iowa Northwestern @Nebraska MSU @Rutgers If we beat any of the teams in the top tier, that would be tremendous but it's not going to be expected. If we lose to them all we go 0-3, including two on the road so that won't hurt us much at all. The next tier is Michigan twice and MSU at home. It's hard to predict those teams but maybe we can upset them in or two games. I'll go ahead and say we go 1-2 in this tier. Total record so far would be 1-5. Next tier is Maryland, Northwestern, and tOSU. These are the games that we need to win more often than not. We play @Maryland during break so that would be a great opportunity to steal a road win. tOSU is at home but I'll go ahead and predict that we lose to them but beat NU on the road and at home. That would be 3-1. The next tier is trash but Minnesota is likely the most dangerous of the group and we only play them once at home. If we lose a game to this group I wouldn't surprised if it were to them. To have the best chances at dancing, we need to beat everyone in this group. Safest bet is that we lose one of these games that we're favored to win. That would give us 6-1. That would put us at 10-8. Not the best wins but I think enough to make it in if we win out in non-conference. I wouldn't be surprised if we an steal 1 from an upper tier team and lose another one that we were favored to win. Still would be 10-8 but good wins are more valuable than bad losses. [/QUOTE]
