schedule is likely to keep B1G teams buried in the RPI ratings this season. I know there are a lot of factors involved in formulating that rating, but I would say that it has been a big factor in Iowa at 57th, having the best rating in the conference. Michigan (71st), IU (86th), and Neb (98th) are the only other schools under 100. To what extent this will have when they select the tournament field is anyone's guess, but it sure doesn't help. Indiana St. is 6th without playing a game in the MVC so far, and they have a record of 11-6 against their non-conference schedule.
