Current Big Ten records after week 3 Nebraska 7-0 Wisconsin 7-0 Rutgers 7-1 Maryland 7-2 Purdue 5-2 Indiana 6-3 Michigan State 5-3 Northwestern 5-3 Iowa 6-4 Penn State 4-3 Illinois 4-3 Minnesota 3-3 Ohio State 3-4 Michigan 2-5 71-36 (.664) It’s nice to see the records after three weeks, but without a strength of schedule metric, the records mean very little. I’d rank the teams in this manner based on what I’ve watched and learned… I have not seen any of these teams live. Mostly based on scores and watching 7 or 8 on stream. 1. Wisconsin 2. Nebraska 3. Minnesota 4. Purdue 5. Penn State 6. Ohio State 7. Indiana 8. Illinois 9. Maryland 10. Northwestern 11. Michigan 12. Michigan State 13. Iowa 14. Rutgers How do you have Michigan at 11 they may just be the worse team in the conference The last grouping has to start with Northwestern and include 10-14

1) Nebraska 2) Wisconsin
3) Purdue 4) Minnesota 5) Penn State 5) Ohio State 7) Indiana 7) Maryland 7) Northwestern
10) Illinois 10) Rutgers 10) Michigan State 13) Iowa 13) Michigan Bottom heavy for the first time in a decade… Michigan, Iowa and Illinois are much worse than they were forcast to be going into the season. May be difficult to get more than 6 teams into the tournament. We’ll see how it goes 🏐 💯

Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, Penn State,.....We hardly knew you. And yet, EE will still have multiple players from Ohio State, Minnesota and Penn State on the All-B1G and All B1G freshman teams… 🏐💯

Ohio State, Minnesota, Illinois, Penn State,.....We hardly knew you. Minnesota is fine. They lost to Texas, Florida and Stanford, and beat Oregon and Baylor (and Texas Tech is no slouch). Penn State, on the other hand - ouch. Louisville embarrassed them. I don’t think MN played Tech? But I agree with what you’re saying.

Rutgers Once the RPI futures is posted and my work stops being utter chaos, I’ll add the Strength of Schedule for each team to my post. Thanks for the suggestion. I was at the Big 10 / PAC 12 challenge this weekend and was able to see Minnesota and Ohio State in person. Based on what I saw, I’d move Ohio State up a bit (they looked a lot better over Oregon than I expected them too and I think they made the right call in changing Liberos) and can see them finishing top 5 with how lackluster Penn State has been. My own rankings are below: 1. Wisconsin 2. Nebraska 3. Purdue 4. Minnesota 5. Ohio State 6. Penn State 7. Indiana 8. Northwestern 9. Maryland 10. Michigan State 11. Michigan 12. Rutgers 13. Illinois 14. Iowa

I agree with your take; the losses at Long Beach are definitely a learning experience, and all three schools should have strong RPIs which will help Indiana. Looking at Indiana’s schedule, they should win out the rest of the non-conference (the game against Miami will be important) and they should fare well in this year’s Big 10. Hoping that it’s enough for a tournament appearance I believe that’s a very optimistic take. i can’t see Indiana finish the conference schedule ahead of: -Nebraska -Wisconsin -Penn State -Minnesota … and that leaves a grouping of seven teams -Purdue -Michigan State -Ohio State -Maryland -Indiana -Iowa -Illinois …who are legitimately or planning on fighting for 2, maybe 3 of the remaining spots to get into the tournament. I don’t believe the conference will get more than 6 spots, but say they get 7. There is likely to be a cluster fk for 6-9 placing… and if that is the case what non conference win can Indiana point to? I know Aird is confident about taking a jump up, but I think Purdue, Ohio State, and Iowa are all better at this point. I guess we’ll find out, it’s gonna be a grind. 🏐 I agree. Unfortunately even if Indiana performs above their projected standing in the B10, they won't have a signature win. They had their chances against LBSU and UCLA but folded. As was mentioned before, the B10 is bottom heavy and this may be a year in which only 6 teams get in the tournament. However, I am excited to see how IU does against UM (Miami).

Well good thing they play the games. Cause these rankings are useless. Mine included.

I don’t think MN played Tech? But I agree with what you’re saying. Minnesota played TCU. That might be the confusion issue here.

Describing Long Beach as a signature win for anybody is a stretch. LBSU is improved, helped by transfers, but still is a mediocre team that shocked Texas when the cattle played without their Brahma Bull on one night. Beach is a couple players shy of a second round finish in December. They might get a bid however based on their conference finish. But you are correct in stating Indiana needed the win for their resume.

Maybe that changes tonight, but friendly reminder that Minnesota is the only B1G team sitting on a top 10 win.
