Once again the Big Ten is getting the toe up the arse. Two undefeated teams and eight with three losses or less--yet only one team(Purdue) in the top 10. Purdue ranks high because of its preseason position, despite the two losses to OK and Duke. Most of their starting rotation are sophomores, with star Hummel leading the pack. But this is not a great rebounding team--partially because of injuries. Minnesota and Ohio State are undefeated, the Gophers being ranked 23 with a win over #19 Louisville. The Bucks lost star David Lighty to a foot injury but keep on plugging. The team has beaten #8 Notre Dame as well as both Miami and Butler. The Spartans of MSU have two losses--one to the Terps and one against #1 NC. But they put down the Longhorns in Texas. Maybe all of this is immaterial, since North Carolina looks like Michael Myers.
