But how is the Pac-12 a bad basketball conference?

It might be our saving grace. There is some shitty basketball going on right now in this conference.

Sincerely, the 2011-2012 Huskies

I hear you, but that team didnt have any OOC wins at all to lean on. If we win 11 or 12 conference games this year we will be in because of it.

Pac-12 power rankings
Good
1. Arizona
Slightly above average
2. Utah (that squeak job vs Wichita doesn't look so great anymore)
3. Washington
Mediocre at best
4. Stanford
5. cal
fucking dreckfest
6. Oregon
7. Colorado
8. Arizona state
Belongs in the big west
9. Oregon state
10. UCLA
Belongs in the big sky
11. USC
12. WSU

Arizona is way better than slightly above average. I might agree that they parts are greater than the sum, but they have one of the most talented teams in the country.

Their C and PF are multi year starters. Stanley Johnson is one of the best freshman in the country. Hollis Jefferson is really good. Johnson and Hollis Jefferson are certain first rounders. Johnson will be top 10. Ashley might be a first rounder too. York is pretty good too. McConnell is an over valued white, pure PG. Pundits will always jo over those guys, but he's their weakest link.

I put them in the good category. They aren't a great team, but they're good. Top 10 team, but not in Duke or UK's class

Zona is in dukes class, and even in UK's class when you consider playing the d2d game. On paper, UK is obviously better than everyone.

Basketball is funny in the sense that you can have good and bad shooting nights which will separate a team. UK is the only team in the nation which is hands down more talented than anyone, but other than that I'd put zona vs anyone on a neutral court

Top 10 is a lot better than above average. 25-40 is above average. Kentucky is the only dominant team. Duke is good, they pretty much always are. Okafor is really skilled and polished, but isn't a great athlete. Their only really impressive win is Wisconsin. UConn and Michigan State are down this year.

Duke is doing it's usual. play itself into a 2 seed where they will lose in round 1 and we have to hear about all the horrendous choking articles for the 7th time in 10 years.

After stony brook, UW does not get to be in Utah'a tier
