With the 5 game stretch starting Saturday I think they are gonna need a lot of help in terms of the other bubble teams losing, unless they can manage a couple of upsets. They probably need to go no worse than 2-3 in these 5 to keep the hope alive without a deep B1G tournament run.

Ohio State picked up its 1st quad 1 win of the year today when Northwestern moved into the top 75 of the NET with its strong showing in the loss to Michigan though I am afraid this might be a short stay for them in the top 75 NET and the quad 1 win.
That said I can't imagine the win holds much weight since NW is 10 miles away from the bubble.

They can't worry about what other teams do, but otherwise I agree. A 2-3 minimum in these next 5 games is critical. If you look at ESPN analytics, the Wisconsin home game is the only one OSU is expected to win, but even that one is dicey because Wisconsin has already won on the road at UM and Illinois, and of course OSU was unable to stop their offense in the first matchup. The Virginia game is the second-most likely according to ESPN, but that one could be tougher than meets the eye as well because OSU tends to be offense-heavy and defense-poor, and a matchup against a team like UVA who's defense-oriented and somewhat offensively challenged doesn't tend to work. I do think that they could have a chance in a couple of the other games but it's not looking good if I'm being perfectly honest.

Iowa just lost to Maryland so I think that game is winnable even though it's on the road.
This team is just so up and down though, they gotta figure out a way to put more complete games together down the stretch. You cant have these long stretches of sloppy play against these types of teams.

It's only a quad 1 win at home if the team is ranked between 1-30
If it's a road game quad 1 expands from 1-75 and neutral site is 1-50

I don't get the love affair with these MWC teams.
San Diego State and New Mexico both only have 1 Q1 win as well, but both have a Q3 loss.
Ohio State's worst loss is a Q2 (Pitt)
Ohio State is ahead of both in the NET, yet Bracketology has San DIego State in and Ohio State and New Mexico basically as equals in the last 4 out.
Also, the WCC should not get 3 teams unless Santa Clara wins the WCC tourney. Santa Clara only has 1 Q1 win and has a Q4 loss.
