Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2140866, member: 1572"] I agree with all of that. Unfortunately posters like hallcity (and he wasn't alone) had trouble figuring that out. My focus was on the top three teams although I said at the time that USC was a deserving entrant as well. There have been plenty of instances in history where a team came from a bad conference and did major damage. The three top teams in the PAC-12 were all among the top ten in the country imo. Could never understand why the indexes (BPI, kenpom) had them down in the 15-22 range. I know it's because of the weakness of the bottom half of the Pac-12 but that points out the weakness in their methodology. A casual viewer could watch these teams play and know that they were nowhere 20th ranked. [/QUOTE]
