Today we start “Weakling Wednesday Dropouts”, regular updates on the bottom 3 teams on track to miss Weakling Wednesday at the Big Ten Tournament. The battle is fierce! When updated, I’ll list only games involving the dropouts.

Through Jan. 15
16. Northwestern (1-4)
17. Washington (1-6)
18. Minnesota (0-6)

Jan. 16 WWD Slate
Michigan @ #18 Minnesota, 6 (FS1)

Love this. Suggestion (perhaps too on the nose): this should be updated on Wednesdays…
 





I've probably written this before, but this is reminiscent of the English Premier League, but not quite as dramatic. In EPL, the bottom 3 teams at the end of the year are always "relegated" (i.e. kicked out of the league) and replaced by the three best teams promoted from the second league. Normally you wouldn't care about a match between the bottom dwellers, but in EPL, those are the ones with the highest stakes.

Stakes aren't nearly as high here, but toward the end of the season, a Rutgers/Northwestern game could be more interesting than it otherwise would be.
 

What type of odds do you have to give for the Gophers to NOT appear on this list at any point throughout the rest of the regular season?
