Spank- Will a win Thursday in Lincoln bump our RPI 5-7 spots?
They are just outside of the Top 100 last I checked and road wins carry much more weight than home wins.

Those of you that follow the RPI formula much closer than I do...What's the highest we can hope to be at 10-8 with a loss to Indiana? I realize this will be an educated guess.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago. If Iowa gets to 10-8 w/ loss to IND, I think Iowa is somewhere mid-50s.
The Illinois win will boost it, even though it's at home. MN bumped Iowa about 10 spots. Illinois will have the same effect. Just playing Indiana will help the RPI.

Probably 3-4 depending on the rest of the teams.

Assuming Iowa finishes out at 4-1 and my confidence factor for this is 85%, Iowa's RPI will be fine and finish either 6 or 7th in the Big Ten.
I worry then for a let down in the Big Ten Tourney attempting to beat Nebby, Penn St or NW 3 times. Fear a let down and back on the bubble.

The RPI is starting to be less of an eyesore. Even though the committee tries to downplay the use of the RPI, when it's flashing in red and glaring at you on paper, it's hard to ignore. That was a big win yesterday to get us a bit more respectable there. The NC SOS is just abysmal though and will be our ultimate undoing if our bubble bursts.
The Nebraska game will be a real tough game, but would do wonders to help improve our away from home record (currently 4-7). Here's to hoping the snowstorm keeps some of their fans at home Thursday night.

When you are winning and back in the conversation, every game is a one game season. Nebraska is HUGE: Win that one and it really gets interesting, with 3 of the last 4 at home.

I would rather we play Nebraska or Northwestern. Penn St. has played well in both games against us and I fear the third wouldn't go so well for us. They just seem to play well against us every time.

Don't worry, we won't be playing Penn St. in the B1G tournament. That will be the 5 vs. 12 matchup and we aren't getting the 5 seed.
I have felt like we have been right on the edge of becoming a really good team all year. Hopefully this win is what pushes us over the hump and we play like that the rest of the year. It wouldn't surprise me one bit since that's what happened the first 2 years under Fran. We always get better as the year goes on.
Unless Ohio State completely implodes. Anyone know what their remaining schedule looks like?

It is a pretty tough schedule but we'd have to finish a game ahead of them, which I would consider unlikely.

Yes it is, but they'd have the tiebreaker.

Hopefully they lose 3 of they're last 5 and we win at least 4 of our last 5. That would take care of that tiebreaker.

If Iowa gets to 10-8 in the conference, they will probably finish 5th (6th at the worst) Iowa will not get left out of the tourney this year with a 10-8 conference record in the deepest, best league in the country. They would also have 21 wins.
