If you would like to participate this week either PM me your rankings or post them in this thread. In the future weeks I'll ask for PM's as it will be easier to gather the rankings from one place. I'll post the first ranking tomorrow morning. Future rankings will be released Monday mornings.

Here is mine:
1. Indiana
2. TSUN
3. Ohio State
4. Illinois
5. Minnesota
6. Michigan State
7. Purdue
8. Wisconsin
9. Nebraska
10. Northwestern
11. Iowa
12. Penn State

1. scUM
2. Indiana

Out of curiosity, what makes you put TSUN ahead of Indiana?

Next ranking will be released the morning of Tuesday, December 11. Please PM me your ballots between 12/9 and 12/11 at 7AM to be counted in that power ranking.

I've seen them both play, and I think they would match up very well with IU. IU has no one who could stop Burke getting to the basket and I think scUM largely could neutralize Zeller.

FWIW, I hate everything I just typed. :osu:

Who would and how? I'm not sure any team in the country could neutralize Zeller, let alone Michigan.

Oddly enough, I think the big kid Len from Maryland might have as good a chance as anyone. Maybe they'll meet in the Dance.

Maryland will make some people sorry they scheduled them, this season.

McGary and Horford are pretty athletic for being 6'10", and although Zeller's got a couple of inches on them, he's giving up some weight to each. I'm not saying he's not going to score, but I think they could hold him to 12-14 pts, and scUM's backcourt is better. We'll see--I may be wrong (in fact, I hope I am--I'd rather see IU win than scUM anyway).

I'll make sure to be on top of that next week and the rest of the season! Thanks!

Also, this thread needs some Bernini- loved his basketball insights for Wisconsin and the Big Ten.

Purdue is doing all they can to lose to Eastern F M*ch*gan.




EDIT

Final
EMU 47
Purdon't 44



One does not simply walk into EMU's gym, throw up a girls high school score and win I guess.
