PAC 10- underrated?

[darrell74]

Cal(22-9) had 4 non-conference losses:
Kansas
Syracuse
Ohio State
New Mexico
4 teams mentioned are top ten
Cal went undefeated in the rest of the non-conference

Arizona State(22-10) had 3 non-conference losses:
BYU
Baylor
Duke
4 teams mentioned are top 25
ASU undefeated in the rest of non-conference play

Washington(22-9) had 2 non-conference losses:
Georgetown
Texas Tech
2 above teams are/were top 25
UW went undefeated in the rest of non conference

PAC 10 had a bad year?
Bad year may be over-exaggerated.

I think this is a perspective not looked at.
These 3 teams have 22 wins, no bad non-conference losses.

Well-
I gave you stats, and you can compare them to the power conference teams of the east, and you might be able to look at it more constructively.

Personally, I call it east coast bias.

Some call Louisville, a lock (losing to Western Carolina, Charlotte, UNLV which none are conference winners) in 6th place in the Big East.
Then, Washington is considered a non-at large team. 3rd in the PAC 10.
Having to win their tournament to go dancing.
Bulls--t!!!

Just thought I would share, that's all.

Biggest snub of the tourney, in my opinion was Arizona State.

Had a feeling the PAC-10 would answer big.

Suddenly, Cal doesn't look like a cream-puff, for Duke.

Washington will give hell to whomever, they play next.

[darrell74]

All of a sudden, Call doesn't look like a cream-puff, against Duke, being from the PAC-10.

PAC-10, not as bad as the media lets on.

They say that the Pac-10 is down, b/c they are no more than 4 NBA players in the whole league.

Thats how these fuks from ESPN quantify a strong conference.

NBA is full of Pac-10 players, I can name more than a dozen of them right now.

One really good one who got drafted recently, James Harden.

Everyone drank the Big East kool aid courtesy of ESPN. If the Pac-10 wasn't on the West Coast, everyone would know. The refs from the Pac-10 let those kids scrap and it shows in their toughness.

im sure im in the minority today but im playing cal +6 1/2 today

Pac-10 is not underrated, league really was down this year. It's just that the two best teams in the league got hot at the perfect time. ASU only have themselves to blame for choking vs. Stanford and the rest of the league is garbage.
