That's a good point....as long as the Big Ten in basketball gets that SEC-football advantage.

I agree that the poll ranking at this time of year does not matter too much. However, I do feel we’re a little undervalued right now. There are a few teams in front of us with multiple losses (Creighton, Texas Tech maybe even Illinois) that I don’t feel are justly in front of us. With that said, I noticed we were up to a projected 4 seed in the latest bracketology. That is certainly already much higher than most of us had pegged them. The season will play out and we will know a lot more in a few weeks once were deeper into the conference schedule.

I'm alright with the slow climb in the rankings. Let the team build on the slow rise, develop confidence. I'll take that over a meteoric rise to a top position, then lose ground in the B1G meat grinder. Coach has the team playing well, and if Davis can get back in February and sharpen up in time for tourney play, these guys could be a team nobody wants to play against.

Wow, I can't believe the ACC's highest is 18...that's truly wild

Michigan could take Illinois and Rutgers right now.

9 Big10 teams are ranked.
I never thought in my life, as long as coach K is there, that I would see Northwestern and/or Rutgers ranked higher than Duke.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

This conference will get anywhere from 8-10 teams in the dance depending on how NW, Minnesota, IU and Purdue play the rest of the season. I think 7 are pretty much locked in.
