Massey Ratings has the Gophers ranked #50, and is projecting the team to finis 12-1 in nonconference play with 6 wins in Big Ten play: Ohio St. at home; Maryland at home; Iowa at home; Rutgers away; Penn St. at home; Nebraska at home.
(The win probability for Michigan at home was 49%, virtually a coin flip, but I counted it as a loss anyway.)
I get that this is Massey Ratings is just based on a formula, and that it's hard to project out a full season, but I think this offers some good metrics as to what the Gophers have accomplished this season, and what we can expect going forward.
Do you think that the Gophers would be tourney bound if they finished 18-12?
Our Big Ten losses would be: Michigan St. away; Penn St. away; Wisconsin at home; Ohio St. away; Iowa away; Indiana at home; Michigan at home; Maryland away; and Wiscosnin away
Which games would we have to steal in order to solidify a NCAA bid.
Obviously Penn St. at Penn St. jumps out as a potential win.
