At this point in the year, 10-8 would be a disappointment to me personally. 11-7 would be good, but 12-6 (or higher) would be fantastic. That is what we should be shooting for.

Technically speaking, we should be favored in every game besides @Purdue and Ohio State. So very optimistically speaking 13-5 isn't ridiculous, but I would be more than happy w/ anything over 10 considering our lack of depth at this point.

call me an optimist/homer but I think we will finish 13-5 or 14-4. I got a good feeling about ohio state, especially if they are #1 still coming in ---the barn will be ROCKING!

The nice thing is that even if we slip up @Indiana or @NW, and only win 1 of the 3 home games against OSU, ILL, and MSU - that still puts us at 10-8, which at this point looks almost certainly like a lock for the dance.

It would be nice to be at 12-6 or 11-7 in the BT because I think those records will get you a seed better than 8/9, which is critical to avoid if you want to go deeper in the tourney, especially this year where there isn't a big difference between teams that will be seeded on lines 2-5.
