I haven't updated these in a while, but with the tournament upon us now seems like a good time: Big Ten tournament odds, similar to Pomeroy's log5 breakdowns, based on the Bradley-Terry ratings.

Nothing terribly shocking here, of course.

Biggest difference is that the margin-aware system views Illinois much more favorably; they've had a tendency to lose a lot of close games this year.
