Last year, per Torvik, the top 5 conferences were:
The B1G was the undisputed best conference in the country. Got an incredible 9 bids and bombed spectacularly. The P12, well the Torvik model was telling us something.
This year, per Torvik:
I am still a bit baffled by the numbers of bids the B1G got. I guess the fact that no team is ranked higher than #3 should tell us something though.
My instinct is that Purdue and IL will make it to the second week. Others will flame out.
