Are we safely a 2? Like does this Purdue game matter since Michigan is bed **** ting?

CBS apparently responsible for that 0.05.

EDIT: nope - they finally got their heads out of their asses and have us #2 in the Midwest

 
The more I look into Virginia I think I'm just fine with that draw as a 3 seed in our region. I look at their season results and there isn't one single win that jumps off the page at you. Their two most impressive wins were likely @Louisville and Miami.
 
Does Purdue controlling Michigan raise the value of our victory against them?
 
Today is one of the best days of the year. I see no reason why the good guys shouldn’t be a 2 seed based on metrics. Using that logic, they’ll probably be a 4 seed because the committee has never gotten this right
By all rights, we should be a 2 seed ahead of of Purdue (better Net, better record, head to head), but I've been hearing a lot about how the Wins Above Bubble (WAB) is taking on outsized importance this year.... Plus Purdue about to beat UMich just before Selection Sunday show has me reaching for the ol' CycloneFanatic nut cup.

No, per the committee rules, anything like that can only hurt ISU. Like bumping us off the 2 line by putting two big 10 teams on the 2 line.
