While we're still in December I like to look at how KenPom ratings have moved since the preseason:
Let's look at the movement in KenPom for each team since the preseason:
Purdue: 1 -> 2 (early conference loss means that they might not run away with it this year)
Wisconsin: 20->12 (surprising surge...they are a contender)
Illinois: 19->14 (looking very strong heading into a tough weekend matchup)
Ohio St: 35->24 (feisty team, might be dangerous)
MSU: 13->29 (clearly overrated in the preseason)
Iowa: 51->48 (several convincing losses to superior teams)
Northwestern: 40->50 (beat Purdue so you have to take them seriously)
Michigan: 45->54 (another unimpressive Michigan team)
Indiana: 50->65 (They are 2-0 in conference...we'll see how that holds up)
Nebraska: 58->66 (exposed by tougher competition lately)
Maryland: 23->74 (*fart noise*)
Rutgers: 59->78 (can't beat a good team)
Minnesota: 112->99 (might get out of the cellar this year!)
Penn State: 85->122 (quickly fading into oblivion)
