I'm a Kansas fan, but I can tell you that Michigan is definitely ahead of Nebraska in the pecking order because of who they played. If the committee really wanted to choose the best teams, Virginia Tech would've made the tournament last year, but they didn't because of their SOS. I think VT is in pretty good shape this year because they took that to heart and went out and scheduled Purdue, Penn St, UNLV, Oklahoma St, Kansas St, and Mississippi St. Michigan, likewise, also scheduled pretty rigorously. Nebraska, on the hand, has nothing to show as far as tough OOC opponents. <br /><br />The committee has made it abundantly clear the last few years: who you play is just as important as how you play.<br /><br />Nebraska may be tournament worthy, but they'll have to make the Big XII semis (probably the final) to have any chance because of that OOC schedule.

I know they all have Big in the title, but you should be able to distinguish between them none the less. <br /><br />Nebraska is the 6th best team in the third best conference. Michigan is the (tied) 5th best team in the second best conference. In my opinion, Michigan has a slight edge. <br /><br />At the beginning of league play (January 10), B101 predicted 6 Big 10 and 6 Big 12 teams to make the tournament. Considering all play was in conference, I see no reason for that to change. The winner of the Colorado Nebraska game should be in. The winner of the MSU UofM game should be in. The loser should be stuck on the bubble and need to do something in the conference tournament.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-85405118417688087232011-03-04T16:25:18.470-05:002011-03-04T16:25:18.470-05:00Where is your actual bracket?Where is your actual bracket?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-34856415248684402922011-03-04T15:38:52.591-05:002011-03-04T15:38:52.591-05:00Missouri State's an at-large long shot.
