No, MIchigan is 5-5 and only needs to win 1 over their next 2 games to be .500, then they need to win their first Big Ten tmt game to stay at .500 or above.

Rutgers does have 4 top 20 wins but some are rather borderline:
#14 Utah, #16 Michigan, #18 UMass, #20 Loyola - and could fall out. They might need a top 10 win.

I think you could draw out a scenario where all the Big Ten teams look pretty good,
Michigan goes 1-1, beating PSU and losing to OSU, and then wins a game in the Big Ten tmt, to get them to .500 with  3 top 20 RPI wins including UMd.
Rutgers knocks off PSU or UMd to give them a top 10 win to go with its other top 20 wins
OSU wins its last 2 games (Hopkins and Michigan) to go 7-6, with 4 top 20 wins.
Of course, one of the top 3 (UMd, JHU, or PSU) would have to go 0-2 here, which might well knock them out of the top 10 RPIs - but there would be Big Ten tmt games to consider.
- I don't really expect OSU to be able to win at JHU, but this season has been rather strange. Michigan does have PSU at home - still I'd favor PSU.
