Another big drop in the RPI puts Michigan right on the edge of the tournament cutoff. 15 is not a good spot to be in; we're going to need to put some wins together and get off the bubble.
There is some change in the state of Michigan. Ferris stays near the top and Michigan Tech and Michigan State stay at the bottom; Northern and Western are right in the middle.
Lake Superior State is struggling since their series against Ferris State, going 2-6-0 in their last eight games and falling out of the Top-20.

Our worst case scenario last weekend put us in freefall. With MSU and Wisconsin next on the schedule, Michigan needs to be perfect to avoid falling out of the Big Ten standings.
Ohio State is getting better; enough to challenge for 3rd in the Big Ten. Penn State is not good.

Is that 10 of our remaining 16 games come against Sparty, Ohio, and Penn State. If you go 8-2 amongst that bunch plus split our remaining 6 games against Wisconsin and Minnesota, that gets you to 21 wins on the season, which, given the quality of our OOC wins, should be good enough to get us in.
