as we're sitting at the half way mark.
Looking at teams that are sitting in the top half of the standings and a quick breakdown of their remaining schedule:
Wisconsin - 10 games left - 5 Home, 5 Road, 4 against upper half teams
Maryland - 9 games left - 5 Home, 4 Road, 3 against upper half teams
OSU - 9 games left - 4 Home, 5 Road, 5 against upper half teams
Purdue - 9 games left - 4 Home, 5 Road, 4 against upper half teams
IU - 9 games left - 5 Home, 4 Road, 5 against upper half teams
MSU - 9 games left - 4 Home, 5 Road, 5 against upper half teams
Michigan - 8 games left - 4 Home, 4 Road, 4 against upper half teams
Maryland seems to have the easiest schedule from here on out. MSU and OSU seem to have the toughest.
Maryland has been trending down so even with the easiest schedule, they could fall farther than expected. Michigan also could be in for a drop due to injuries. IU could be in for a drop due to matchups.
Wednesday will be a huge game for Purdue. With as many road games as they have coming up, a win against OSU is crucial. Things can certainly change but the road games against Minny, IU and MSU don't seem quite as daunting as they did a couple of weeks ago.
