Big 10 Basketball Not Off To A Great Start

You realize every metric will have the Big 12 as the best conference in CBB once again right?
It's certainly possible though I suspect the Big 12 won't get more than 6 teams in, and I'd be shocked if the Big 10 doesn't get at least 8 teams in.
Kansas, Texas Tech, Baylor, OU, Iowa State, Okie State, Texas
Indiana, Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, MSU, Maryland, Purdue,
They aren’t a tourney team right now, but per usual they’ll be playing their best ball in February.
Still way too premature to put them in as one of the 7 at this point. They could make the tourney and they could finish last in the Big 12. Neither would shock anyone at this point.
Nothing they've done has warranted them to not be in the tournament either and with ISU's respect they have earned from the committee, if they are on the bubble they should get in. The analysts currently have Iowa State in the field and have discussed Iowa State as a tournament team, therefore I marked them as one.
Is Texas Tech one of your 6 teams in? They might not beat a top 225 team in the noncon.
I'm not surprised some Iowa fans are a little high on their team right now.. It happens about every year. Beat Tech and Syracuse and it looks amazing on paper, however when you dive into it Tech is a shell of who they were last year and Syracuse is one of the worst teams in the ACC this year. They'll probably come back down to earth after tomorrow's game @ Michigan. Who knows, if Iowa loses by 30, Fran might get an extension.
B1g has looked good in the acc challenge but a couple of teams in the ACC are really overrated. UNC isn't a top 10 team and UVA has some things to figure out, they are still really good but under 50 in 3 straight games just won't get it done. B1g is a better league top to bottom.
Iowa looks amazing on paper?
I haven't seen many Iowa fans high on this team. They have probably played better than most were saying at the beginning of the season, but most fans also realize the ceiling of this team and then the fact the third best player will be out for the season means no tournament team.

I've probably encountered a few homer fans then that are extremely high on the state of Iowa basketball then. I'll disregard their statements. Bohannon is not the second best player on Iowa btw. Joe Weiscamp is.
As much as I hate the B10 this is a very accurate statement (at this point this year).
