The 2010 Big Ten standings determine the seeds of the teams in the 2010 Big Ten Tournament bracket. The teams with the best Big Ten conference records receive top seeds in the 2010 Big Ten Tournament.

A team's relative odds to win the 2010 Big Ten Tournament depend only partly on their Big Ten bracket seed. Winning the Big Ten Tournament also depends on the dynamics of the 2010 Big Ten bracket. In some cases, the team with a better Big Ten Tournament seed may actually face a harder path to the Big Ten Tournament championship than a team with a worse Big Ten tournament seed.

In addition, because Big Ten tournament seeds are based on win-loss records in Big Ten conference games, Big Ten tournament seeds are not always the most accurate measure of a team's true performance level. This is another reason why higher seeded teams in the Big Ten bracket can have better odds to win the 2010 Big Ten Tournament than lower seeded teams in the Big Ten bracket.
