At least teams won't be afraid to schedule us!

Last time I checked Wisconsin was still in the Big Ten (you highlighted Kentucky)....unless I missed some phenomenal news about them leaving.

Will be interesting to see how much Purdue drops off without Edey. He was such a massive mismatch in most games and will be impossible to replace. Guessing they will still be good but maybe not top 10 good.

I predict the Gophers will be one of the top 18 teams in the Big Ten next year.

Top 18 in what category exactly?

Top 18 in what category exactly?

I’m just predicting they will finish in the top 18.

Gutsy call!!

Adding those 4 tv markets, did a lot for revenues and football, but only UCLA is in this ranking for basketball. I guess Oregon must be losing a lot of players.

This is the second time today I was scrolling down to post a joke only to find someone beat me to the punch!

That would put us solidly in the (B1G) Tournament...

They just re-post the previous year's standings. And move Michigan State up a little and Northwestern down a little.
