Explain why Washington, Arizona, Oregon and Colorado(especially Arizona and Wash) are not equal or better than Bama, Memphis, Creighton, Dayton, Xavier, Saint Louis, Iowa St, Kansas St, Purdue, Ill, NW'ern, ND, UConn, Seton Hall, Cincy and Miami? I'd have Arizona with ND, KSU and Cincy and both Zona and Washington above the remaining teams. Oregon and Colorado are on Par. I think Cal, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Colorado is a solid top five(very similar t the ACC's top 5) in the Pac. We do lack a Kentucky and Cuse type team, but so do most conferences this year.
ReplyDeleteJust remember to review this list after the real brackets come out. I think you will be surprised how your bias sways your opinion.
ReplyDeleteThe BE will get 6, the Big 10 will get 6, the big 12 will get 5, the SEC will get 4 or 5, the ACC will get 4 or 5 and the Pac will get 3 or 4. You are heavy handed in favor of the Eastern conferences and 1 or 2 light on the major Western US conferences. I guess we will see if I am as bias as I think you are;)
Good stuff either way.
Cincinatti with an RPI in the upper 80's low 90's, are you serious? Highest RPI toever make the field was 74. Cincinatti will not get an invite.
