Jesus they are still sobbing about a couple calls after the free ride Edey got for the last two years?

***Official B1G In-Season Thread***
- Thread starter boilerzz
- Start date
The last time the entirety of the B1G was in the top 100 of KenPom was 2019. We've got a chance to have it happen again, which is wild as we now have 18 teams vs 14 that year. You'd think at least one B1G would suck profusely every year but not this season.
The B1G as a whole has zero NET Q4 losses and just 8 Q3 losses. Rutgers and Minnesota are the only teams with 2.
KenPom ranks:
8 Purdue
12 Wisconsin
15 Illinois
19 Maryland
22 Michigan
23 MSU
26 UCLA
28 OSU
36 Nebraska
37 Oregon
53 Indiana
56 USC
58 NW
62 Iowa
72 Rutgers
73 PSU
92 Minnesota
95 Washington

8 of the top 28 teams in both the NET and KenPom are B1G teams. We may not have a legit title contender but there is more depth at the top than in some time.
Top 30 KenPom teams by year:
2025 8
2024 5
2023 4
2022 3
2021 6
2020 11 (The COVID year has questionable statistical relevance because we didn't have the out of conference depth if interplay)
2019 5
2018 5
2017 3
2016 5
Only 2021 (6/14 vs 8/18 is close) compares in the last decade.

Iowa at 62 is a f***ing joke. If the "metrics" say we're one of the 62 best teams in the country, and a team like Drake is only 2 spots better, then ole Kenny Pom Poms needs to ride off into the sunset.
Hey @Sparty_57, thoughts on how MSU does in the stretch run? I thought our closing schedule was brutal but damn, yours is insane (except Iowa of course):
@ Illinois
Purdue
@ Michigan
@ Maryland
Wisconsin
@ Iowa
Michigan
@ Illinois
Purdue
@ Michigan
@ Maryland
Wisconsin
@ Iowa
Michigan
It's all about the schedule. Believe it or not, you have 6 Q1/Q2 wins. Drake only has 3. Drake also has 2 losses that are considerably worse than Iowa's worst loss.
Sounds reasonable. That would put you are 14-6. I could see Purdue going anywhere from 5-1 to 2-4
Wisconsin
@ MSU
@ Indiana
UCLA
Rutgers
@ Illinois
I think that's most likely. That's why it's frustrating that we couldn't pull it out at Michigan. They would need to go no better than 4-3 against this schedule for us to grab a share of the title.
@ OSU
MSU
@ Nebraska
Rutgers
Illinois
Maryland
@ MSU
I stand corrected. I have posted the B1G standings once this season. Fairly certain that's the only time but I could be wrong there too.
