Bracketology: A look at where Big Ten teams stand this week

March Madness isn?t too far away, believe it or not. How do the top bracket experts size up the Big Ten when it comes to NCAA tourney bids? Take a look at the Coke (Lunardi) and Pepsi (Palm) of bracketology.

It?s difficult to quibble with anything I saw. But I was a bit surprised that Palm didn?t have Maryland as a No. 2. As for Lunardi, I'm not sure what Ohio State has done to merit inclusion.
