USC is not that good. Like i said, they dropped a game to Seton Hall and Oregon State this year. Cal is up and down, but when they are up they play great. Notre Dame is in the midst of a 7 game losing streak, not a big win beating them. Stanford is a terrible team, horrible, in fact the best word would be deplorable. I actually picked Arizona to make the tournament at the start of the year. So good for them. UCLA is a very good team. hence the good win by Michigan. USC is not that good.

Every conference does that. It's not information. UCLA crushing USC isn't "USC is fraudulent", it's "UCLA is playing some of the best basketball in the nation right now". Their last 4: beat Notre Dame by 26, beat USC by 26, beat Stanford by 34, beat Cal by 15. Arizona has beaten Gonzaga and Kansas, and they have no bad losses. If the tournament started today Arizona is in. Unequivocally. And USC is probably in too. A 6 bid conference is pathetic? Here's some math: 6/10 > 6/11 You should probably get someone to write about the Pac-10 who actually knows it. What does that have to do the Pac 10 beating up on its 1 bad team?

See how using the bottom two teams of a conference is a dumb as fuck way to judge that conference's strength? Indiana and Iowa have a combined 4-17 record in the pathetic Big 10.
