Updated Big Ten Tournament Seed Projections

If I hear the name Jordan Taylor again tonight, I might just have to sleep for 8 hours. "Like that's even possible, GMYH." True enough, 6,000-year-old demon who controls my fingers.

Anywho, nothing much has changed with my predictions, other than another correct one. Every team has one more game. There could be a pretty nice logjam in the middle. Where's Karl Hungus when you need him?

Here are the current standings, with each team's remaining games and predictions:

1. Ohio State (15-2). Remaining game: Wisconsin (W)
2. Purdue (14-3). Remaining game: at Iowa (W)
3. Wisconsin (13-4). Remaining game: at Ohio State (L)
4. Michigan State (9-8). Remaining game: at Michigan (L)
5 (tie). Illinois (8-9). Remaining game: Indiana (W)
5 (tie). Penn State (8-9). Remaining game: at Minnesota (L)
5 (tie). Michigan (8-9). Remaining game: Michigan State (W)
8. Northwestern (7-11). Regular season over.
9. Minnesota (6-11). Remaining game: Penn State (W)
10 (tie). Iowa (3-14). Remaining game: Purdue (L)
10 (tie). Indiana (3-14). Remaining game: at Illinois (L)

Given my predictions and Big Ten tiebreaking rules, here is how the Big Ten Tournament seeds should fall into place and how the Big Ten Tournament will play out (all times are Eastern):

1. Ohio State (16-2)
2. Purdue (15-3)
3. Wisconsin (13-5)
4. Illinois (9-9)
5. Michigan (9-9)
6. Michigan State (9-9)
7. Penn State (8-10)
8. Minnesota (7-11)
9. Northwestern (7-11)
10. Iowa (3-15)
