He has 3 PAC 12 teams IN THE DANCE. I hate this. That entire conference stunk it up big time in the non-conference.

They should be a ONE BID LEAGUE. I HATE THE BCS BIAS!

Warren Nolan has us a 10 seed. UNI one of the first four out.

Some differences between the OP bracketology and Nolan's...

Example: Nolan's has Miami as a 11 seed and Bracketology doesn't have them anywhere.

sweet we could play KU in the elite 8, if they somehow can beat Bucknell in the 1st round

[shox1989]

How funny. Ku would probably lose in their first game.

From Lunardi's chat today...

Joe, what team outside the top 25 do you think has a shot at a final four run? I have vandy.

Vandy is a good one. I also like Wichita State and maybe Gonzaga. Other dark horses could be Temple, West Virginia and, if they ever get it together, UConn.

Lunardi must not know WSU has never won Arch Madness

Have to like Creighton at home, but I could easily see Wichita State winning at "Arch Madness."

I don't know, man. According to this they went 4-39 against the RPI Top 50.

Solid.

Solid.

Your number includes Cal's three losses in league play. The entire conference won 1 effing game against top 50 competition outside of the Pac-12.

[Capitol Shock II]

The Pac 12 is a total joke....more then one bid for that conference this year shows you what the selection process has become....another joke.

[ShockerPhi]

Screw the AP Poll rankings and such, I just want at least a 7 seed. I don't like 8.

[ShockerFever]

If the PAC-12 receives 3 bids, then there is no hope for anything from the NCAA.

Again though, this is one guy's opinion. Lunardi certainly isn't the "Golden Knight" when it comes to picks, especially 5 weeks out.

[Shockeriffic]

If the PAC-12 gets three bids, then we must already be a lock to make it.

Solid.

As others have pointed out 3 of those 4 wins are Cals 3 in-conference losses. The ONLY top 50 win in non-con play was Stanford beating Colorado St. at home. That is it! UNI alone beat Colorado St plus got a road win over Iowa St (rpi #34) in the non-con. UNI alone!

They also didn't do well against the top 100 (If I remember right the entire 12 team conference won ONE road game against a top 100 team). The conference also has several bad losses.

This should be a one bid conference, their best rpi team is Cal with a rpi of 48 (if they drop 3 places the conference will lose those extra top 50 wins they picked up with Cal's losses) and Cal has NO top 50 wins.

The team we play Wednesday night (UNI) has 3 total top 50 wins and a rpi of 51, yet they aren't even on the bubble. The PAC 12 should only be a ONE BID CONFERENCE!!!!!
