You got questions. We got answers. Here are your B1G CCR Power Rankings! Keep 'em handy when it comes time to fill out your March Madness brackets!!!!

+4: #1 Michigan, #5 Penn State
+3 #4 Illinois, #9 Minnesota
Biggest Losers:
-6: #10 Iowa
-3: #6 Ohio State
Trending Positive:
Nebraska, Illinois, Penn State
Trending Down:
Iowa, Michigan State
Filling out the Brackets:
The bracket project has six teams in the NCAAs: Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Iowa. In addition Minnesota is in prime bubble territory and could play their way into a 7th seed.
Positive trenders Illinois and Penn State will need to win the Big Ten Tournament to make The Dance so momentum players will have to hang their hats on Nebraska.
Iowa is really in a funk, and Michigan State is uncharacteristically woozy at this time of year. Momentum players will want to steer clear of these teams unless either can right its ship in Indy.
Best shots to go deep: Michigan (duh!) and Nebraska (huh?) who are trending head and shoulders above the rest of the league.
