Here's a link to a place (was hear last year as well) where you can predict the outcome of each of the remaining Big Ten games. You can go back and switch your picks, etc. to see what the standings would be (sorry, tough to describe, but it's really easy). Make sure to notice that the home team is listed first. Highlighted team is the favorite according to the Sagarin ratings.

I ended up with a 3-way tie. I didn't have any of the lower-to-middle teams, like Illinois for example, beating any of the top teams, but you know it will happen.

This is what I got. We get the OSU vs. NW winner and then the MSU vs. Purdue winner. To win the conference tournament (with this scenario) I'm guessing it's OSU, MSU and MD.

Iowa 17-1
Indiana 14-4 (wins tiebreaker)
Maryland 14-4
MSU 13-5
Purdue 12-6
Wisconsin 10-8 (wins tiebreaker)
Michigan 10-8
Ohio State 9-9
Northwestern 8-10 (wins tiebreaker)
Nebraska 8-10
 
When I did i, i have Maryland winning the best 10 outright at 16-2, so that kid of sucks. Have Iowa 2nd at 17-3.
 
Maryland will have a tough time at Indiana on Yogi (Senior) Night. I don't actually think Iowa will go 17-1 but I don't know which game them will lose so when I did it game by game they ended up 17-1. Even at 16-2 I have Iowa alone in 1st place.
 
So I just did it and Iowa ended at 15-3 and got the 2 seed with Indiana at 15-3 also. It's almost for sure going to come down to the last game. We play at Michigan and Maryland plays at Indiana. I'm willing to bet that one of those 2 games will decide the winner.

I take the bet...just for fun. I think Iowa will have clinched going into those games.

16-2 clinches at least a tie. I don't think Maryland or IU go 16-2 though.

That will be really tough to do. Iowa would have to continue how they're playing with no let downs and Maryland and Indiana will have to lose a couple.

This is what I got too, but that was me subconsciously giving Maryland the benefit of the doubt and consciously not giving Iowa the benefit of the doubt.
 
The RPI predictor has Iowa at 15-3, Indiana at 14-4, Maryland at 13-5, Purdue and MSU at 12-6 and Michigan at 11-7.
 
Here's another fun thing to play around with. It allows you to change to outcome of past games or set the outcome of future games to see your projected RPI, to show the impact of outcomes, etc.

I expect all of this to happen. This is probably the first time I've ever bet someone that desperately wants to lose their bet.
