Some major differences between these schedules.

In conference games, ranking of offensive and defensive efficiency
Iowa 2nd Off 12 Def
MSU 5th Off 1st Def
Ill 9th Off 4th Def
Mary 8th Off 8th Def
Minn 7th Off 5th Def
Pur 6th Off 2nd Def
IU 3rd Off 13 Def
OSU 4th Off 6th Def

Ranking of conference strength of schedule according to KenPom

Iowa 1st
IU 3rd
Purdue 6th
Maryland 8th
Ohio State 10th
Minnesota 11th
Illinois 12th
Mich St 13th

So even with an easier schedule than all but 4 teams.in the B1G, Ohio State has a worse record than Maryland and Purdue.

Again, you want it to be one way but it isn't.

Yea Yea I know your "game evidence", aka w-l, "is a better determining factor than computers" for evaluating these teams. If only there was a way to evaluate and test that statement.

So basically OSU is 2nd according to computers but not 2nd according to on the court production. Pretty sure the games are played on a court and not on a computer soo...

Usually stats but with OSU it seems those stats aren't exactly translating into on the court success.

Either that or I'm just a terrible poster. Both is probably true

We have always had one in the past and it used to be really really good but we lost a lot of our best posters. Now since we picked up Maryland we have picked up quality posters but I still don't think we have the posters for a standalone.

They lost all 5 conference games by single digits, 4 of them on the road, and 3 of them by 3 points or less. Variance is a real thing.

No comment on the last part.

Looking at Iowa's conference schedule it's been brutal so far.

They're 3-3 vs Maryland, OSU, MSU and Wisconsin combined. Pretty legit showing vs all the top40 KenPom teams in conference.

Lol at throwing Wisc in there to make it seem even better when they lost by 32 and 11 to them.

Ohio State is undefeated vs Mich Minn and Wisc
