Countdown

Getting excited to see the brackets! I think Washington, the regular season Pac 12 champ, may get bumped -- and rightly so. This rarely happens and speaks to how terrible the Pac 12 is this year. In fact, I'd put Colorado in because I have to but I don't think I'd put another Pac 12 team in, esp since there are strong teams in smaller west coast conferences. I'd put in Gonzaga before Washington. Lots of small Calif teams deserve in before Pac 12 teams. Be interesting to see what happens. If there is ONE Pac 12 team, then I applaud the committee but I think they will get stuck in the "big" conference syndrome and put in 2 or 3. And better smaller schools will lose out as a result. This is a GREAT YEAR for small schools! Man, I hope a lot make it but I'm doubtful. Politics and mythology rule.
