[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1694140, member: 747104"] Everybody's played 3 B1G games now, let's see what the EM standings look like: [ATTACH type="full"]14078[/ATTACH] Still early, and yes, Illinois' opponents have all been effectively bottom half EM teams, but that's partly because they've played Illinois. At this point, the teams have effectively separated into 6 tiers: T1 - Illinois, still in the stratosphere T2 - Michigan State, clearly separated from everyone else T3 - Michigan, Indiana, Ohio State - Solid tournament teams net positive in the league early on. T4 - Wisconsin, Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa - Neutral thus far, early struggles (or in Wisconsin's case, one early blowout loss) T5 - PSU, Minnesota, Maryland, Rutgers - Bottom half of the league, outside looking in on a tournament bid if they can't improve, mostly just played Illinois so far. T6 - Nebraska - Hey, they did play one close game and look to improve their metrics next week against...*checks notes*...Illinois and Purdue. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
