We could potentially still end up anywhere between 9-12
As the standings currently sit:

9th: Mich 7-10 Games left: Rutgers at home
10th: Minnesota 6-10 Games left: Wisco at home, PSU at home
11th: NU 6-11 Games Left: @ Iowa
12th: Neb 5-12 Games Left: Maryland at Home

9 Seed: If: Michigan Loses to Rutgers, We beat Iowa, and Minny loses at least one of two vs. Wisco and PSU (we own tiebreaker over Minny through h2h, and so does Mich, so it would come down to non-con b/c we are even with them on h2h)

10 Seed If: 9 Seed Scenario Occurs EXCEPT Mich beat rutgers OR If we Minny loses to both Wisco and PSU and Nebraska Loses to Maryland

11 Seed If: We Beat Iowa, Mich Beats Rutgers, Neb Lose to MD, Minny beats BOTH Wisco and PSU OR If we lose to iowa, Minny win at least 1, Neb loses to MD

12 Seed If: Nebraska beat MD, We Lose to Iowa, and Minny Don't lose both (Neb own h2h over us)

What if we lose to Iowa, Nebraska wins, and Minny loses both?

I'd guess we're still 11.

Thanks for breaking that down, NTCAT. Smells like an 11 seed, IMO.

If we were to win and Mich lose, what is the tiebreaker that gets us above them? Better overall record? Scoring 2 more points in head to head? RPI? Just wondering what the tiebreakers are as our BIG records will be the same and we will have split HTH.

Ok, so there is no scenario for us to get the 9 seed because Iowa would need to pass OSU in the standings (tied in record but OSU ahead in standings) and for Iowa to pass OSU we would have to lose to Iowa.

And 10 Means Maryland round 2 (if we win round one vs either IU or Illinois) who have been not so great away from home this year. Beat Maryland, and IU/UofI and were in the NIT.
