It's hard to take this very seriously. They don't even know that we got 6th and Minnesota 7th in coference play. This shouldn't be that tough for ESPN to piece together.
Minny got 9th
The Goofs? The way they are playing they may get by NW but that would be about it.
UPDATED:
Iowa OUT
Baylor still in with 12 seed
Creighton moved down to 5th seed.
IDK... the most accurate system since 2007... worth paying attention to over the weekend as Iowa wins games.
Minnesota was in a 3 way tie for 7th. Their finish in conference play and their tournament seed are 2 different things. Anyway, the BPI link shows Iowa finished 7th and Minnesota finished 6th.
The link shows that the Hawks are the 7th highest ranked Big Ten team in the BPI ranking. Notice Michigan's conference rank is 2: not that they're second in the conference , but that they're the second highest Big Ten team on the list. Also, North Dakota St's conference rank is 1, although they're in 3rd in the Summit.
I have derived that these various prognosticators produce varying results through manipulation of both the data they chose to input and the algorithms employed to analyse said data. The result is to get results intended not to produce a realistic denouement, but alternatively derive conclusions aspiring for ambiguous results determined to motivate conversation.
this is funny?
