College basketball is upon us! Wisconsin and the rest of the Big Ten tip off their seasons Monday night.

Below, I went through and made my record predictions for the season and what teams will make the Tournament. This is a standings prediction, not necessarily a ranking of which teams are better. For example, I think UCLA is a better team than Illinois and Wisconsin; they just happen to have a rough away slate. Unfortunately, with the Big Ten as bloated as it is, a lot of standings will be determined by the home/away split.

1. Purdue 26 – 4 Overall (17 – 3 Big Ten)

2. Michigan: 23 – 7 (15 – 5)

2. Mich St: 24 – 7 (15 – 5)

4. Illinois: 22 – 9 (14 – 6)

4. Wisconsin: 23 – 8 (14 – 6)

6. UCLA: 23 – 8 (13 – 7)

7. Oregon:20 – 10 (12 – 8)
