Also, on ESPN College Basketball Gameday, during the Headline of the day segment, Rece Davis picked WSU defeats CU as his headline of the day.

I caught the tail end of either Rece or Seth Davis (?) on the radio this morning. They were talking about North Carolina having only one quality non-conference win... a home win against Wisconsin toward the end of November. I agree, not very impressive when you look at there overall schedule.

This tells you all you need to know about "BPI":

22

California

Pac-12

19-6

79.3

10.8

82

Losses to Oregon State (Jan 5), Washington State (Jan 21) and Arizona (Feb 2) tell me that Cal is not the 22nd best team in D1.

Yeah that article and system was an interesting read. Another ESPN interesting item was todays Lunardi bracketolgy. Number 7 seed in the same bracket with the Kansas.
