Joey Brackets now has Gophers a #8 seed. ...

but we have the down arrow (trending downward). Let's get that arrow pointing upward with a win over the Buckeyes this weekend.

SS - I know as of now you also have the Gophers in but IMO the most likely conference record will be either 8-10 or 9-9. I would say 9-9 is good enough to get in but what do you think about their chances if they finish 8-10? Would they need more than 1 win in the B10 tourney? I don't see how without any consistent scorers or PG they get more than 1 win in the B10 tourney.

In a nutshell, I'd say:

10-8 lock

9-9 with a BTT win also a lock

9-9 with a first-round BTT loss in all probability still in, but some concern

8-10 in all likelihood would need at least 2 W's in Indianapolis

Does the arrow mean trending downward? Or does it mean the team is a lower seed than his last projection?

Both. What would the difference be between those two things?

I guess not much.
I guess in my mind "trending downward" doesn't mean a heck of a lot anyways.

I think 8 or 9 seed is possible if Gophers finish regular season about 20-10 then 1 or 2 W in B10T.
