Breaking Down the Conferences: Big Ten
Looking Good
Michigan State (18-3, 8-0 Big 10)- Thanks to some last-minute heroics, Michigan State is off to their best conference start in school history. The remaining schedule is a bit difficult; they still have to travel to Madison and West Lafayette, but the Spartans look to be in good shape to win another Big 10 title.
Wisconsin (16-4, 6-2 Big 10)- With wins over Duke, Purdue, and Ohio State already under their belt, Wisconsin is in position to get a Top 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. Their next two games (@Purdue, Michigan State) are a doozy, but the Badgers have a remarkably easy schedule after that, with the most difficult game being @Minnesota.
Purdue (16-3, 4-3 Big 10)- The Boilermakers appear to have righted the ship after that three game losing skid. They still have to play Michigan State twice and travel to Columbus, but outside of that Purdue should have little trouble finishing with 11+ conference wins.
Ohio State (15-6, 5-3 Big 10)- The Buckeyes will receive a bit slack from the committee for their midseason slump. Now that Evan Turner has returned from his back injury, the Buckeyes are 4-1 in their last five games, including wins over Purdue and Wisconsin. The remaining schedule is very favorable, with 6 of their last 10 games at home and the only difficult road game being against Michigan State. Overall, Ohio State could easily end up being a Top 4 seed when the season is over.
Work to Do
Northwestern (14-6, 3-5 Big 10)- Despite the rough start to conference play, I really like Northwestern's chances to make the tournament. 8 of their last 10 games are Iowa x2, Indiana x2, Penn State x2, and home games against Michigan and Minnesota. The only 2 difficult games left are @Michigan State and @Wisconsin. The Wildcats have a marquee win over Purdue and have shown they can win away from home with road/neutral victories against Notre Dame, Iowa State, NC State, and Michigan. As long as they get to 10 conference wins (very doable against that schedule), Northwestern will be in the field on Selection Sunday.
Minnesota (13-7, 4-4 Big 10)- Unlike Northwestern, the Gophers don't have a signature win to fall back on, have only a 2-6 road/neutral record, and have not-so-good losses against Portland and Miami. Fortunately, there's still time for Minnesota to get a signature win, as they have home games left against Wisconsin and Purdue and a road game @Ohio State. Winning @Northwestern on Valentine's Day would go a long way towards putting them in the field, as it would give them a season sweep of the Wildcats.
Illinois (13-8, 5-3 Big 10)- Illinois has a nice conference record, but those wins came against Penn State x2, @Indiana, Iowa, and home against Northwestern. The Illini have nice wins against Clemson and Vanderbilt, but that isn't enough to offset bad losses against Utah, Bradley, and Georgia. Illinois will likely be 7-3 in conference play at this time next week, but then they enter the murderer's row part of the schedule (Wisconsin twice, Ohio State twice, @Purdue, @Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota). With only an 8-5 nonconference record, Illinois will have to go 4-4 in those last 8 games to feel good about their chances. 3-5 puts them squarely on the bubble, and anything less sends them to the NIT.
Michigan State (18-3, 8-0 Big 10)- Thanks to some last-minute heroics, Michigan State is off to their best conference start in school history. The remaining schedule is a bit difficult; they still have to travel to Madison and West Lafayette, but the Spartans look to be in good shape to win another Big 10 title.

Breaking Down the Conferences: ACC
Now that January is coming to a close and the conferences races are taking shape, this is a good time to start looking at potential tournament teams and what they need to accomplish the rest of the way to get an at-large bid.
Looking Good
Duke- despite the setback at NC State, Duke is still the clear favorite to win the ACC regular season. The Blue Devils still have to play UNC and Maryland twice, but as long as they hold serve at home and beat the teams they should on the road, Duke should end up being a top 3 seed.
Wake Forest- the Demon Deacons are 14-4 (4-2 in the ACC) with road wins over Gonzaga and UNC and home wins over Xavier, Richmond, Maryland, and Virginia. With home games remaining against Miami, Boston College, UNC, and Clemson and road games against Virginia and NC State, Wake should have little trouble finishing with 10+ conference wins.
Georgia Tech- losing to Georgia and getting swept by Florida State certainly hurts, but the Yellow Jackets already have wins over Siena, Duke, North Carolina, and Clemson. With those big wins, Georgia Tech will make dance as long as they finish 8-8 or better in conference.
Clemson- the Tigers are far from a lock at this point since Butler and UNC are their only quality wins, but they have a favorable schedule the rest of the way and should have little trouble finishing with 9+ conference wins.
Florida State- the Seminoles are 15-4 (3-2 in the ACC) and have already swept Georgia Tech. A 9-7 conference record should clinch a bid for them, and that seems probable with 2 games each against Boston College and Miami, road games against Virginia and UNC, and home games against Maryland, Clemson, and Wake Forest still on the schedule.
Work to Do
Maryland- the Terps are off to a good start in ACC play, but they have yet to play the toughest part of their schedule. They still have to play Duke, Clemson, and Virginia twice, and they also have road games against Florida State, NC State, and Virginia Tech. Maryland made the NCAAs with a 7-9 conference record last year because they had big wins against Michigan State, North Carolina, and Wake Forest to fall back on. That isn't the case this year and anything less than 9-7 will likely send them to the NIT.
North Carolina- UNC is off to a disastrous start in conference play, losing at home to Georgia Tech and Wake Forest en route to a 1-3 record. I would say it's just a bad stretch and things will get better, but the remaining schedule isn't any easier. UNC still has road games against NC State, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and Duke, and home games against Duke and Florida State. The Tar Heels better win their two games this week (@NC State, Virginia) or they are going to be in a world of trouble against that back-loaded schedule.
Virginia Tech- the Hokies have a gaudy 15-3 record, but that means little at this point since their best win is Seton Hall. Their next 4 games (@Virginia, @Miami, UNC, Clemson) will be very telling as to whether or not they can compete for an NCAA bid this year. Va Tech caught a bit of a bad break in scheduling, as they only play Duke and Georgia Tech once, both on the road.
Virginia- Virginia is off to a surprisingly good start, but the question is whether or not they will be able to sustain it for a whole season in conference play. The Cavaliers got a bit lucky in the scheduling, as they play Virginia Tech, NC State, Maryland, Wake Forest and Miami twice, and only get Duke, Georgia Tech, and Florida State once, all at home.
Looking Good
Duke- despite the setback at NC State, Duke is still the clear favorite to win the ACC regular season. The Blue Devils still have to play UNC and Maryland twice, but as long as they hold serve at home and beat the teams they should on the road, Duke should end up being a top 3 seed.
