I know it's kind of silly at this point but just for closure's sake...
Changes since last week are in parentheses.
1. Wisconsin - 15.25 (-0.71)
2. Maryland - 13.44 (+1.01)
3. Purdue - 11.90 (-0.12)
4. Iowa - 11.32 (+0.63)
5. Michigan State - 11.25 (-1.03)
6. Ohio State - 11.17 (+0.37)
7. Indiana - 10.07 (-0.58)
8. Illinois - 9.16 (+0.03)
9. Michigan - 8.25 (-0.20)
10. Minnesota - 7.07 (+0.92)
11. Northwestern - 5.74 (+0.32)
12. Nebraska - 5.52 (-0.16)
13. Penn State - 3.51 (-0.38)
14. Rutgers - 2.35 (-0.10)
-Maryland (+1.01), Minnesota (+0.92), and Iowa (+0.63) had the best weeks.
-Michigan State (-1.03), Wisconsin (-0.71), and Indiana (-0.58) had the worst weeks
-BTT seeds are starting to converge. Our best bet of moving up would be to finish 10-8 and have Indiana lose out. Right now our biggest "what if" game is the Indiana game at home.
-The four (19-10) teams, Purdue, Michigan State, Iowa, and Indiana are all on track for NCAA berths but are not yet locks.
-Illinois really needs 21 wins to get an NCAA bid. I just don't see it happening with 20 (60+ RPI). That means either a road win at Purdue or a win against Wisconsin on Friday in the BTT. RPIForecast gives us a 28.24% chance of getting 21+ wins. So that is where we stand on March 2nd.
