12 in, 6 to go (top 6 teams)

[Jon]

1. WSU 10-2 (ILST, SIU, @UNI, @UE, CU, @MSU)
2. UNI 9-3 (@DU, @UE, WSU, @BU, INST, @CU)
3. MSU 9-3 (INST, BU, @ILST, DU, @SIU, WSU)
4. UE 7-5 (@CU, UNI, @BU, WSU, @DU, ILST)
5. INST 7-5 (@MSU, @ILST, DU, @SIU, @UNI, SIU)
6. CU 6-6 (UE, @DU, SIU, ILST, @WSU, UNI)

There's a two game gap right now between 6 and 7, so I'm going to stop with the top 6 teams.
Out of that list, I think MSU probably has the easiest schedule, with only two games against the top 6 and three home games.
We would SEEM to have the next easiest, with only two games against the top six, but FOUR road games to end the year.
CU has three games remaining against the top six and four home games.
UE has three games remaining against the top six and three games at home.
UNI has four games remaining against the top six and three home games.
WSU has four games remaining against the top six and three home games as well, but their last four are against the top six and three of them are on the road.

These are the actual standings including the out of conference SOS tie breaker if the list I used was correct. I used the December 28th ratings from this site: http://statsheet.com/mcb/rankings/RPI?id=2010-12-28

If that plays out it will be a helluva last game between WSU and MSU for the regular season title.

Also should point out that we would win the SOS tiebreaker with UNI (if they beat us there), MSU (if they beat us there), or CU (season series already 1-1). WSU and UE both swept us and would beat us in any tie breaker.
