League preview, predictions, picks: The Big Ten (College Basketball 10/26)

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander continue their preseason package of power-conference previews with a look at the B1G. It's probably going to be the best league in America, and should have the most compelling race at the top. Michigan, Purdue, Illinois = the clear-cut top three. Ohio State = very strong No. 4. Then? Maryland, Indiana and Michigan State are forecasting as comfortable NCAA Tournament teams. Rutgers:also still pretty good! What's a reasonable expectation for Iowa after Luka Garza's departure? Is Fred Hoiberg's Nebraska team the most underrated in this league ... or is that Northwestern (?!). So much to discuss.
