Last week did not disappoint. We said it might be a potential playoff in the east and the West and both games went down to the wire and left us with clear-cut favorites to advance to Indy. But the middle is as mixed up as possible. After the top 4 it’s pretty much a crapshoot from 5-12ish.

Here is how I see both the East and West divisions breaking down and then at the bottom I’ll rank all 14 teams in one list.

Big Ten West:

#1 Northwestern Wildcats

Northwestern is good. I said it.
