Washington Huskies ( Jedd Fisch , Danny Sprinkle ) ranked No. 12 , No. 17 and No. 18 .

The calculation is simple. Each coach's position (No. 1 through 18) is added to his counterpart's for a 'net score' That score is then compared to the rest of the listed duos.

USC coach Eric Musselman is likely better than the ninth -best coach in the Big Ten.

UCLA coach Mick Cronin is one of the best coaches in the conference.

Penn State's James Franklin and Mike Rhoades are a classic combination of a top-end coach and a bottom-ranked coach.
