State of the Big Ten

Submitted by bigmc6000 on
With Penn State losing to Iowa at Iowa, the Big Ten is now cramped when it comes selection day. For the sake of argument let's assume OSU beats NW tomorrow (if not that makes things even more crazy!) You've got Wisc, PSU, and OSU all 10-8 and Minn and us at 9-9. What's the seeding look like? My best guess is UW - 8, PSU - 10, OSU - 8, Minn - 11 or 12 and UM - 10 or 11 (10 if we win our first round BTT and 11 if we lose). Personally I'd rather be an 11 seed because then you have a real shot of making to the sweet 16, as a 10 you'd have to beat a 7 seed and then a 2 seed. I think an 8 or 9 seed is easily the worst at large bid you can possibly get. What are your thoughts?
