Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 3285524, member: 474"] still its a strange system where winning/losing a game in the first 4-5 carries more weight than what you do over a 20 game conf season. UNC beat oregon and was 6-1 and now has gone 4-12.. things happen those first few games .. mich is 5-7 14-9 but unless the bottom drops out gets in with 7-8 conf wins Ind 5-7 15-8 probably needs more to get in minn 6-7 12-11 needs to get over .500 to get the overall record to .500 to stay in it wisc 6-6 13-10 who knows. purdue 7-6 14-10 is probably in. but will they take a team under .500 in conf and .500 overall? how often does that happen? normally teams around .500 in conf get in but also have great OC records too. the whole big 10 middle thats in it now could implode if the top half do their job too. really needed those 5 ranked teams to play well but the whole league from Iowa down may fall to .500 [/QUOTE]
