The way I look at it. The Big Ten and the rest of D1 did not play and thus their numbers are not related to each other - they are two separate entities. The Big Ten usually gets 2 or 3 teams into the tournament even with the Ivy League around. There is actually no reason to believe the Big Ten is any worse than in any other season - as they haven't played anyone else. Maryland and Rutgers dominated the league, separating themselves from the rest. It seems to me to be fairly clear that Maryland and Rutgers should be selected.

I don't really root for Rutgers, but it seems to me they are being unfairly maligned. Further fans are using the same sort of reasoning to rip the Terps.

I tend to use the Coaches Poll and believe it is the best of the rankings, and they currently have Rutgers at #9.

Anyways, I don't know that Syracuse fans should be throwing stones. Syracuse has 4 blow out losses, that is 1/3 of your games. Notable Syracuse fans are calling for the coach to be laid off...
