If my math is correct, IU could move up seed-wise with a sweep of OSU...

[ptrich]

Because of the imbalance in the number of games because of cancellations, a sweep would put IU up by percentage points at .545 to .541 over OSU. Maybe I'm wrong about it, but I think they go by percentage and not the number of wins. A lot of things would have to happen, but should both Mich St. and Maryland get swept, the same would apply to them if IU was able to get their sweep. Here are the standings going into the final Thurs through Sat schedule:

1. Illinois 43-6-1 .870 19-1 .950
2. Iowa 37-12-0 .755 18-3 .857
3. Ohio State 35-15-0 .700 13-8 .619
Maryland 35-18-0 .660 13-8 .619
Michigan State 32-19-0 .627 13-8 .619
6. Michigan 32-21-0 .604 14-10 .583
7. Indiana 29-20-0 .592 9-10 .474
8. Nebraska 34-19-0 .642 9-12 .429
9. Minnesota 19-29-0 .396 7-14 .333
10. Penn State 18-28-0 .391 6-14 .300
11. Northwestern 16-35-0 .314 6-15 .286
12. Rutgers 17-34-1 .337 5-16 .238
13. Purdue 18-34-0 .346 4-17 .190

It appears you're correct....and they DO go by percentages because of the missed games due to weather.

Anyone able to update the standings this morning?

IU has moved past Ohio State into 6th in today's standings

Watch that Maryland at Northwestern game today. If Terps lose I think IU moves up to No. 5 seed

Yes, IU would move up to the 5th seed if the Terps lose today. Hopefully, the game doesn't get rained out.
