Always interesting going back through some of these. Thought I’d do some Team/Avg Projected Finish/Actual Finish
Iowa - 1.00 - 4
Indiana - 2.33 - 3
Maryland - 3.66 - 11
Nebraska - 4.33 - 2
Rutgers - 4.66 - 12
Michigan - 7.00 - 4
Michigan St - 7.33 - 9
Illinois - 7.66 - 1
Penn St - 8.00 - 7
Ohio St - 8.33 - 7
Purdue - 11.33 - 6
Minnesota - 11.66 - 9
Northwestern - 13.00 - 13
- Iowa, Indiana, and Nebraska were relatively in the same ballpark. Iowa was a unanimous #1 so their season is definitely disappointing.
- Rutgers and Maryland both stunk with a capital S.
- Illinois, Purdue, and Minnesota were the biggest risers compared to predictions.
- Northwestern as a unanimous last wasn’t surprising. However they actually started the year 10-9 before finishing 8-25. Ouch!
- Teams projected to make B1G Tournament that didn’t: Maryland, Rutgers, MSU
- Teams that took their place: Penn St, Ohio St, Purdue
