This looks like it is going to go right down to the finish. The Gophers lead by a game over the Badgers and PSU with Michigan two back. Michigan has four road games and has the two games with Minnesota. The Gophers have a very difficult finish and the next two games are huge, on the road against teams needing wins to help their tournament chances. Wisconsin gets Indiana twice, which never hurts. The Gophers and Badgers have much better RPI's then the other two.
The big question is whether you would rather finish 4th or 5th and get the bye and Michigan Sate if you win or if you would rather be sixth, get Indiana and be in the opposite bracket away from MSU.
Not out of the question that one of these teams could move up a place as well, given the balance of the conference. The Big 10 tournament should be amazing.
