The Big Ten +/- Standings
The concept is simple. It’s based on the theory that you should protect your home court. Failure to do so, costs you a point. Winning a game on the road, on the other hand, earns you a point.
During the course of a a season the +/- standings will likely vary a little from the usual standings but it will give you a better feel for who is winning those all important road games. At the end of the season, the +/- standings will equate to the usual standings.
Here’s the first report.
| 1T. | Penn State |
+1 |
| 1T. | Indiana | +1 |
| 1T. | Wisconsin | +1 |
| 4T. | Illinois | 0 |
| 4T. | Michigan St |
0 |
| 4T. | Minnesota |
0 |
| 4T. | Ohio State |

| 4T. | Purdue |

| 9T. | Michigan | -1 |
| 9T. | Iowa | -1 |
| 9T. | Northwestern | -1 |
I won’t bother to file regular reports but will carry the standings in the sidebar.
