Can Iowa stay above .500 in another strong season for the Big Ten?
So now that we've looked every which way at the Hawkeyes, how's it all going to go down? Thanks to the preseason work done by Ken Pomeroy, we have a bit of an idea.
Pomeroy assigns winning percentages to every game ($$$), and with enough simulations the favorites will win more than the underdogs, and you can assign Ws and Ls to each game without having to worry about upsets.
Well, that's no fun.
College basketball does have upsets, and lots of them, and if we treat the 55-45 games as the same automatic W as the 95-5 games, we don't get a good sense of how competitive these games can really be.
