I was inspired by the Solid Verbal guys discussing what certain programs need to do to maintain a win plateau of different win totals (i.e. what would it take for Minnesota to reach 10 wins regularly).
I decided to apply this to the B1G in general by dividing the league up into tiers of reasonably expected win averages over the next 5 years or so.
Obviously, teams may over or under perform their averages year to year. Here’s what I came up with for the Big Ten:
Tier I (10 win avg)
- Michigan
- Ohio St.
- Penn St.
- USC
Tier II (8 win avg)
- Iowa
- Michigan St.
- Nebraska
- UCLA
- Wisconsin
Tier III (6 win avg)
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Minnesota
- Purdue
Tier IV (sub .500 avg)
- Indiana
- Northwestern
- Rutgers
How would you arrange the B1G teams into these tiers? Should there be more tiers, or different win totals than what I have?
How would you rank teams in other leagues?
