We're about a quarter of the way through the conference season, and most teams have played about 10 games overall. Starting to get a sense of each team, and who the contenders are going to be. Obviously a lot can change, theres a lot of basketball left to play and covid/injuries/bad play can make the standings look a whole lot different by the end of the year. Curious though to hear how people would rank the big 10 at this point?
My personal rankings:
(The clear top 3 to me, order could be argued)
Wisconsin
Iowa
Illinois
(The other legit contenders)
Rutgers
Minnesota - need to see a road win to move up
Michigan - need to see a good win to put in the top tier
(Good teams that might not be there)
Ohio State
Northwestern
Michigan State
(Not pushovers)
Indiana - could be up a tier
Maryland
Purdue
(Bad teams)
Penn State
Nebraska
