Priority/hope 2 is to avoid MSU in the quarterfinals.

3-0 against Ohio State and Michigan should help buffer us from that.

Realistically, it would work in our favor if Ohio State got into a groove and started a nice winning streak (they're at 2 now), even if that means eventually overtaking the Big Ten record of the Gophers. We need that sweep to look impressive...
