But I guess if we also got bounced out of the BTT in the first round to follow it up, it's definitely a possibility. Has an 11-7 Big Ten team ever been left out? I know 10-8 teams have. I could look it up, but I really should be starting work instead of sending this, and besides, it's all gravy now anyway :-). I guess it would depend on who the 2 wins came against. So long as we keep playing like we are right now, I'm reasonably confident we'll go at least 3-3, and that would have to make us a lock.<br><br>-- robert<br></div><div style="font-family:
