Should get the 1st of a series of Coaches Panel Rankings tomorrow, and a glimpse into one-third of the allocation criteria.
For information, the Big Ten allocations are on a 2-year trend upward, with 2019 appearing, by my numbers, to continue going up. 2015 was the highest year, at 86, then a severe drop-off the next year to 71. It rebounded the past two years to 77, followed by 80 (2018). My info shows 80+ for this year, way-early. Note: part of the 2015 number was the addition of Rutgers and Maryland to the Big Ten Conference.
