Beginning Monday will update this every week in the College Hoops Notebook. Far from perfect but it serves as a decent guide on how the Gophers stack up against other teams in the Big 10.

Formula =
(1) Division I wins +. ...
(2) Division I wins by defeated opponnents +. ...
(3) Bonus points (.5 for neutral-site wins, .75 for road win vs. non-BCS, 1.0 for road win vs. BCS divided by. ...
(4) Number of games vs. Division I opponents

Big 10 Power Ratings (through 11/20)
1. Michigan (2-0, 6.5, 3.25)
2. Illinois (3-0, 6, 2.0)
3. Iowa (3-0, 4.75, 1.583)
4. GOPHERS (2-0, 3, 1.5)
5. Michigan State (2-0, 2.75, 1.375)

T8. Northwestern (2-0, 2, 1.0)
T8. Ohio State (1-0, 1, 1.0)

Bonus Points
Illinois wins at Vandy (1)
Iowa wins at The Citadel (.75)
Michigan State wins at IPFW (.75)
Michigan beats UCLA at neutral site (.5)

Yes, I know beating UCLA at a neutral site is more impressive than beating the likes of The Citadel or IPFW on the road, like I said, far from perfect. But gotta' make some kind of differentiation to keep things simple.
