Sconnie's at 3 OSU at 13, Sparty at 22, Michigan at 27, Nebraska at 28, Maryland at 30, Iowa at 34, Illini at 41, IU at 43. Looks like it'll be a battle for spots 3-10

10 teams in the top 43, to be specific. Minnesota at 39 seems about right to me at this point. If Hollins comes back healthy and stays healthy I think we'll climb a lot higher.

That is some serious conference depth. From an RPI perspective I'm not sure it's statistically possible to happen, though (unless the conference completely dominates non-conf schedule).

Seems pretty high for a lot of them, especially Michigan. They're losing an awful lot of production.

So goodman has us squarely on the bubble.

Most observers see the B1G as not being as strong at the top as last year. The middle teams could be as strong or stronger. Adding Maryland a middle team with a high ceiling helps, but Rutgers definitely does not.
