Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2103706, member: 1969"] I disagree. 2017 BIG 10 is very similar to the 2016 PAC 12. [U]2016 PAC-12[B].[/B][/U] The committee loved them even though they only had 1 really good team. The depth of teams they had in the top 50 or right around 50 generated a whole bunch of quality wins for the teams, and made bad losses very tough. It's the same situation in the Big 10 this year. The Big 10 lacks star power, but it is really deep from an RPI perspective. I would not be surprised if Iowa/Illinois won two quality games in the B10 tournament (against tourney teams or valid bubble team) and got in the tournament. We definetely need the current 7 teams that may be in to take care of business and hold off Indiana, Iowa and Illinois. Ohio St winning games is fine... they are a tier below the other 3. Does this mean the BIG is any good. Nope, but neither was the 2016 PAC. [/QUOTE]
