Honestly, this was the big one.  If the worst case scenario played out we'd be 6th, and matched up with Wisconsin in the quarterfinal round of the B1G tourney.  Now we won't have to worry about playing them until the semis.

I don't see how Iowa's resume is better than ours right now.  Same number of total losses, but they have more conference losses, worse SOS, more home losses.  We both beat Ohio State.  They beat Michigan at home, we beat Michigan St on the road.  We seem pretty even to me.

 

They have no +100 losses. That's the only reason.

I have no clue how Iowa is a lock if they lose early.  Their RPI is barely above ours, worse SOS....what the commentators will say is "They have no bad losses."  But ending the year 1-5 and now probably worse than us in the RPI?  I don't get it.

My vote is to not worry about Iowa's resume, win tomorrow, and be a "lock" ourselves!!!!!

BYU has 4 losses to teams with RPI of 140 or worse....and zero RPI Top 25 wins.....yet Lunardi has them in as a bye.

It's what is irritating about the "+100 losses" category...you mean to tell me that losing on the road at Purdue in this conference is so much worse than losing at home to Illinois or Indiana? No.

Yep...record against #2 team Wisconsin is tiebreaker....

Need a win or osu loss

 

I guess that would be right.  Hadn't checked the standings in a while but if both MSU and us lose, that's the case.  Wow.
