Now let's go for something I'm more familiar with... The Pac-10... Disregard the tournament. Except for determining seed positions, the results will be meaningless this year, as the Pac-10 will place 6 of their teams at the big dance. Oregon has a legitimate shot at the top ranking in the West bracket. It may not happen, but they will be considered. More likely that they'll get a 2 or 3 seed. Arizona has a legitimate shot at a number 3 or 4 seed. Cal-Berkley can garner as high as a number 5 seed (more likely 6), while USC can get a 5 or 6 seed. Stanford and UCLA will round out the Pac-10 selections, but they'll likely be seeded no higher than 7. Stanford's loss to USC in the Pac-10 tournament will cost them a 5 or 6 seed, while UCLA's loss will have cost them a shot at a 6 seed. Where they will play is another question. While Oregon and Arizona are the best in the Pac-10, neither may get a 1 or 2 seed in the West. The committee may very well move a team from another area to the 1 seed here. One possibility is Oklahoma. Another is Cincinnati. Gonzaga has a very slim shot based on its record (only 3 losses) and its national ranking (#7), but they really haven't played the level of competition (week in and week out) that the Pac-10 offers, or any of the eastern conferences for that matter. So Gonzaga's chances are slim at best. I'd predict that if Oregon stays in the West bracket, then Arizona goes elsewhere, maybe the East seeded behind Maryland. Either Stanford or UCLA will stay in the West bracket (with the other going to Midwest), while Cal-Berkley and USC are likely headed for the Southeast and Midwest brackets respectively. At least that's how I see it... KJC
