I tried this last week and with more Big 10 action this weekend I figured. I would do my best to try and update what I feel would be the Big 10 seeds if the tournament was tomorrow. I tried to put notes for some along with a +/- to indicate who moved up and down in my rankings. As always, let me know if anything you see looks incorrect.
