Toledo beat their top 100 teams Charlotte, CMU, Marquette, and BG on the road and by 10 or more points each. If Toledo had a tougher schedule they would win a lot of those games in my opinion. I think Toledo could win the big10. Toledo could be in the AP top 25, and be left out.

Quinnipiac and chatenooga have similar records but are behind Toledo at this point still,

Toledo wouldn't come close to winning the Big 10. We don't have the bigs to compete for the championship in a major conference. Yolanda Richardson is a very good MAC player, but she is the only inside player on this roster that would be a regular part of a Big 10 rotation. Big 10 teams would focus on Toledo's lack of an inside game and just bear down on Naama and Andola. We would be around .500 in the Big 10 this season.

That said, one of the nice things about the NCAA Tournament is that every game is single elimination. The Toledo backcourt is really good and hopefully they (Naama, Andola, and Inma) will be better than potential coaches anticipated.

Wouldn't come close? The only ranked Big10 teams are PSU, and MSU. Now Purdue will be ranked, and MSU will not be. So yes, I think we could make it to the finals. Toledo has done very well vs. Big10 teams in the past. Northwestern, Purdue, and Indiana weren't great when we beat them. But they weren't slouches either. Quick guard play can slow down the play of good bigs if you play it right.
