[CO_hawk]

Pssh, Gonzaga would sweep that schedule.

The Zags are really good this year on a serious note. Might be their year.

Still picking Iowa to the Final Four this year on my bracket though.

Wait till you see the matchups first. Don't pick us against a good offensive team. We get beat at our own game too often.

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Is this the best the Big 10 has been since.... ???

It was an absolute war last season, and somehow it’s gone up another level this year. Every team in the conference is facing a murderer’s row.

 

[Villian07]

Minnesota is a a really difficult stretch as well. They just beat Iowa though cost me $$$$ smdh

 

[CO_hawk]

Last year.

Big Ten is loaded with good teams but I don’t think there are any realistic National title contenders

No.

F*** Northwestern and their want to get signature wins against Iowa.

They can kiss my ass for all you care.

Wouldn't be so sure. The gauntlet will leave the top Big Ten teams ready for a run in March, IMO. If either Baylor or Gonzaga loses in a fluke upset early, it’s anyone’s Tournament, from what I’ve seen so far.

Big 12 has a tougher schedule.

Pssh

The voice of reason.

 

[KUhawks34]

Big 12 has better teams at the top. Big ten has more depth in the middle.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Iowa > Baylor > Kansas/Iowa State

 

[KUhawks34]

Iowa > Baylor > Kansas/Iowa State

Ok

 

[hawkit3113]

Word is, we are pissed. Expect a 20 point beating of Northwestern tonight

 

[dukedevilz]

The question I keep asking myself, is who gets 13th place in the Big Ten? Probably safe to assume Nebraska has 14th place locked up. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois have the highest ceilings, so let's eliminate them. I also don't expect to see Michigan, Ohio State, or Rutgers near the bottom.

That leaves us with...

Northwestern (3-0 start in the Big Ten with wins over Indiana, Michigan State, and Ohio State)
Minnesota (wins over Saint Louis, Michigan State, and Iowa)
Indiana (wins over Providence, Stanford, and Butler)
Michigan State (wins over Duke and Notre Dame)
Maryland (win over Wisconsin & let's not forget UMD won the Big Ten last year)
Penn State (wins over VCU and Virginia Tech)
Purdue (wins over Ohio State and Maryland)

It's not even January, and 13 of the Big Ten schools already have at least 1 top 50 win. Whoever finishes in 13th will be the greatest 13th place team of all-time.

Nebraska will finish last

 

[dukedevilz]

Nebraska will finish last

Right. I stated that was a safe assumption. But, who gets 13th?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Ok

See? You just have to simplify it for Kansas fans and then they come around to the truth.

 

[Villian07]

I thought wisky was the cream of the conf, then they let Maryland dog walk em at home.

Idk it is ridiculous they have 13 tourney teams basically. Obv they will canabalize themselves or someone will unfortunately get hurt and someone will probably fall to the nit like penn state or something. But pretty crazy.

Unfortunately, a ton of teams are gonna see stretches like this....Big 10 is brutal.

Shounds good, Sheriff.

 

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

Shounds good, Sheriff.

Wouldn't you say playing at least 8 Top 15 teams as of right now would help teams much more than anything the B1G has to offer

Nothing against the B1G but the difference being that the Big 12 schools play each other twice
So you get 2-4 games against Baylor and Kansas. Top 5
8-10 games against Baylor, Kansas, WVU, Texas and Tech.

For the bottom half of the conference 10 of their 18 conference games are against Top 15 teams right now

 

[Villian07]

In short no. But ur welcome to your own opinion.

Maybe more top heavy but the depth isn’t there imo. I mean size of the league counts against ya but they gonna have more tourney teams than y’all have teams in your conference. With one pushover in Nebraska.

Not to say big12 is a cakewalk at all. If it shakes out and teams in the big 12 are playing 9-10 games in a row against ranked teams/tourney teams then I would be persuaded.

 

[CO_hawk]

Sheriff also thinks 4 Big12 teams are top 10. Which we all know won't be true be seasons end.
But, but, but they were top 10 when we played.
Ya and Gonzaga played a top 5 Iowa team... Not.

 

[Villian07]

Yea shame we couldn’t have gotten uk early to get a win vs a ranked team.

It's not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot, is it?

[CB3UK]

Hey! Thats looks like me watching UK this season!

 

[KUhawks34]

It’s pretty clear the big ten has a bunch of good teams but no great teams.

Baylor and Kansas are clearly better. Possibly Texas.

I mean they should have beat Nova and didn’t have one or their studs rolling yet.

I’m not saying they are but the possibility is there.
