Honestly, I'm struggling to say nice things about the Big Ten right now. Everyone has their share of miserable losses and few have any wins to really brag about (apologies to MSU -- W's over Rice, Western Carolina and Stetson -- and Iowa -- who dropped Vandy).

Here are the standings:
Ohio State 5-4
Michigan 5-5
Northwestern 3-3
Minnesota 4-5
Michigan State 5-7
Penn State 3-5
Iowa 3-6
Indiana 3-6
Illinois 2-4
Purdue 0-9

Uncle Lar over at Happy Valley Hardball has some projected RPI numbers through 3/10. It's not much prettier. About the only consolation is that there is quite a bit of baseball left to be played.

One final news item, there are reports that have the Big Ten Network and Comcast are reportedly close to an agreement. Any chance this can get done before conference baseball play begins in two weeks?
