A Graph Is Worth A Thousand Words
On January 26th, the Big Ten Wonk displayed the first tempo-free offensive and defensive ratings for Big Ten conference games only.
This graph confirms what most experts having been saying since the beginning of the season: Wisconsin and OSU are the class of the Big Ten and MSU and Indiana will fight for third place.
Sports Illustrated used the same kind of graphic for the print edition of their tournament preview and those teams in the upper right corner usually comprise the group from which the NCAA champion will be crowned.

I would suggest that the current graph is based on a biased sample, but expect it to be quite telling over the course of the year. Is OSU the best team in the league, or do they instead have the most favorable schedule of the big 4? Will MSU bark with the Badgers all season? The answers will arrive over the course of the next 4 weeks. Let's take care of the Hoosier daddies and see where we're sitting come Thursday morning.
