crazy to see a 6-5 purdue team ranked so high. All their losses are "good losses" but they don't really have a single decent win besides maryland
Just seems to me this season is on a crash course for the bubble, how many B1G teams should get into the dance discussion with Iowa.
I believe 10-10 will get us in. Could 9-11 with a BTT win get us in? It’s possible.
Gettting to 10 wins is going to be difficult, but this team has the potential to do it. Hopefully they can play themselves into the right side of the bubble with double digit conference wins.

I do think the selection committee will be acutely aware of what Oregon and Iowa State were when we played them. With that said 11-0 non conference is 11-0 and there are plenty of opportunities for quality wins in this league this year. 10-10 should get us in, however it’s going to be pretty tough to get to 10 wins.I agree, you almost have to think that getting to double digit wins gets them in. 9-11 would be interesting considering the should be undefeated non conference record. Hopefully Oregon, UConn, Iowa State, and Pitt can make some noise in their conferences to help the resume.

One thing is for certain, we have to start playing better on the road than we have over the last two seasons.

Oregon should hopefully be able to feast on a really shitty Pac 12. Right now the Pac 12 has one ranked team...Arizona State. Meanwhile the Big 12 has Kansas and....everyone else. So Iowa State should make some noise there.
I’m not expecting 8-2 at home. We do have road games at Rutgers, Minnesota, Penn State, and Northwestern. Maybe an upset somewhere.Agreed. The margin for error at home is nearly 0 and then they will need to get a couple on the road.
I'd be really happy with splitting Michigan/Michigan State. Somehow win the rest at home and you would have to steal 2 on the road to be .500 or more than 2 if they drop any other home games. Man this is going to be a tough conference.

I think we will have to win at least 3 likely 4 B1G road games to have a chance. We have a ton of tough home games I expect to drop a few.
As of today...
I will be disappointed with 10-10 because I think we are better than that...expecting at least 12-8. Michigan and Michigan State are the only 2 that I think are clearly better than us. I think Nebraska and Wisconsin are comparable.
