Great post by Brent Yarina on BTN.com on remaining schedules of Michigan, Wisconsin, MSU and Ohio. We have the easiest remaning schedule, with oppponents having a 0.464 winning percentage.
We win our games, especially Ohio @ home, and we'll have a great chance of winning our first Big Ten regular season championship (shared or unshared WHO CARES!) since 1986. That is HUGE.
GO BLUE

call me crazy, but I think
call me crazy, but I think Ohio losing makes them a tougher task next saturday. they had seemed a lock for a 1-seed in the tourney, now we'll face them 2 games after an upset... they'll be looking to prove themselves again. but hey, i guess that will make it even better when we win.

Its a possibility, but
Its a possibility, but beating Ohio is going to be a tall order to fill. Not sure about our chances, but its good to have this game at home, though.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
I think we have a very good
I think we have a very good shot at winning against Ohio at home. With Gameday being in Ann Arbor, the Burke/Sullinger deal, and an over capacity Crisler Are---Center - it is going to be loud and crazy in there. If we win...I hope our players pull a Mizzou and tell fans to stay off the court. We tryin to protect home court - let's keep it clean.
It's the games on the road I worry about. NW will be looking for some revenge after some 5050 calls went against them in OT. Penn State? Uhh..hey it's a road game. Hopefully after watching the game tonight Coach B and the players realize that the championship is in sight and that prevents any let downs on the road.
Or pull a D-Mo

I don't know if a B1G championship is in the cards
But I, for one, am looking forward to a 1st day bye in the conference tourney for once--hopefully that 3-seed. We'll need to make it to Saturday to cement a 4-5 seed I think.

Didn't we have a first-round
Didn't we have a first-round bye last year? I thought we were in the 4-5 game.
Yes, but...
With 11 teams, there were 5 byes last year. With the addition of Nebraska, only the top 4 get a bye.
4 seed
Michigan was the 4 seed in the BTT last year.
My Hart Will go on
Let's GO. Illini tomorrow at
Let's GO. Illini tomorrow at Crisler, Ohio at Crisler next Saturday after College Gameday stops by. Then @NW, Purdue at Crisler and @Illinois and @ Penn State. We win the next two and we're in great shape.
We should go at least 12-6 in B1G play which should get us a good seed for the B1G tourney. Making noise there could be huge for seeding. I'd say we're a 3-6 seed if we close solidly.
with msu playing like that
with msu playing like that right now...they might be in the driver seat

One game at a time mentality
One game at a time mentality and all that, but I think if we get past TSIO then we should have a clear path to the title.
TSIO still has to play Wisconsin and MSU, while MSU still has Wisconsin, IU, and TSIO. That game between TSIO and MSU might not even matter with regards to us
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?

Here's a different type of schedule analysis -
I just noticed that ESPN is missing the Indiana at Minnesota game on 2/26, in case anyone else is tracking all the remaining games in the B1G. It's likely not a game that will matter for conference champ or 1st round bye, though (I'll predict them with 7 conference losses and 5th place) - surprising, considering how hot Indiana was earlier in the season.
Ohio is obviously the
Ohio is obviously the obstacle, but @Ill and @NW are both tough. It's always tough to win on the road and we don't seem to have good luck against those two in particular.
Let's beat Illini first
otherwise Ohio game won't even matter.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
Not your fault.

It was that title Saturday night. Then they changed it Sunday morning.

1 down, 5 to go.
We have to win out. So far, we're on track.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
If we beat OSU I will start to get excitied. Go Blue
THIS IS MICHIGAN
