I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Again both the Big 12 and Big 10 are very similar. Both conferences don't have a national title contender but have a few teams that could make a deep run. Decent middle of the conference and really not a terrible team in either conference. Not saying there aren't some bad teams, but they aren't bad enough to be considered gimme wins either. Very solid conferences this year top to bottom, but without a true national title contender.
I don’t know why Indiana even gets brought up. They can win to save their life. Lost 9 of their last 10 and only have 1-2 wins left max. They won’t even make the NIT.
They have some really strong wins. Typically a team like them wouldn’t. Weak bubble keeps them hanging around.
Teams with losing records don’t get considered. They are 13-11 overall and have a lot of tough games left. They are done unless they have a miracle turnaround
Think I'm with you here. I'll say the Big Ten gets 6 + 1 of Ohio State and Minnesota. Those two have similar conference records currently but Ohio State was 36 in NET before last night and Minnesota is 58. It would serve Minnesota very well to pick up a win in one of their remaining home games against Michigan or Purdue.
Indiana on the bubble is getting ridiculous. They've won 2 games in January and February combined. They're 4-9 in conference. 8-12 seems like what they need to squeeze in but that's a tall task with 4 of their next 5 games against the top of the conference.
Nebraska is a dead duck. Do two things:
1. Bet against them
2. Profit
I agree...in the Big12 I think the outlier is Oklahoma...basically their 42 NET ranking is because they have 0 Quad 4 games which I kind of found amazing. Don't think they deserve a bid but definitely have a shot.
There isn't a week that goes by where I don't hang my head in shame & disbelief stammering the words, "how did they score 98 on us??" Yes, we had four guys out; yes it was in Carver, but 98 FRIGGIN POINTS aaagggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
