PAC 10 - Who's In, Who's Out?? - Discuss

[Shark23]

Who ya got??

PAC-10 is WAAAYYY down this year, but as we've seen so many times past, teams that get in from a perceived down conference often make some noise in the dance. I think they somehow get 3 bids:

Pacific-10 Conference

LOCKS TO BE IN:
None

SHOULD BE IN:
California 9-4 17-8

ON THE BUBBLE:
Arizona State 8-5 18-8 - Should get 2nd bid
Washington 7-6 17-8 - May get 3rd bid
Arizona 7-6 13-12 - fading fast

BUBBLE BURST, GOTTA WIN CONFERENCE TOURNEY:
UCLA 6-6 11-13
Oregon State 5-7 11-13
Washington State 5-8 15-10
Stanford 5-8 11-14
Oregon 4-8 12-12

USC 7-5, 15-9 NOT ELIGIBLE FOR POSTSEASON

lets not kid ourselves with Arizona on the bubble - they are 13-12 and in the pac 10

iowa state is 13-12 and in the big 12

Arizona need the conference tourney to get in, bottom line

[Gerk]

Real question is which conference deserves more bids, the Colonial or the Pac 10

[NightCap424]

PAC 10 is a joke....someone better not get hosed by letting a Pac 10 team in.

[Shark23]

I agree, PAC-10 is complete garbage. I do think the committee has a tendency to reward traditional power programs and conferences with more bids than they deserve, however. Plus, there's a little political game that goes on in those selection committee rooms with folks pressing their own agendas.........

PAC 10 will only get their champion in.

I hope you're right - that leaves two more bids open for the Fighting Irish.........

Yes, but, Iowa State 2-9 in conference, Arizona 7-6.

Although Az State's 2-9 might actually be better than Arizona's 7-6.......

[Gerk]

Zona's strength of schedule is 26 and Iowa State's is 45 on CBS Sportsline

RPI listed there for Zona is 90, Iowa State is 114. You should see some of the teams ahead of both on RPI.

This really is the year of parity in CBB, Will make a very interesting March Madness

[upinya83]

yeah 7-6 in the pac 10 pretty much the same as 2-9 in big 12

and out of conference strength of schedule doesnt really matter when you lose all the games

this is all they deserve

[Gerk]

Neither of them deserve to be in. Minny's RPI is higher than both and they don't deserve to be in either

[upinya83]

i know gerk - im saying that arizona doesnt deserve in, not that iowa state deserves in with arizona

im saying that arizona shouldnt even be considered for an at large -

[Windy City Irish]

CAL & WASH get in IMO....

really hope that one of the other teams doesnt make a run in the conf tourney and wins it to take a spot away, but we know its possible

Yeah, I know, I am in total agreement. No way PAC 10 only gets one bid, but that is really all they should get
