Beat OSU/UO and 1 game in P12 tourney = near lockBeat 1 of OSU/UO and need 2 games in the P12 tourneyHuge weekz0r.
Get destroyed by Oregon who is now certain they’re the best team in the conference.Beat the little beavlets by 2-5 at home. Special.Upset in the first game of the conf tourney.Cook it my daWgs.
better to be a 5 seed and crush cal in 1st round than be a 4 seed and play no game, right?
better to be a 5 seed and crush cal in 1st round than be a 4 seed and play no game, right? Doubt it, Cal doesn't help the RPI at all. Empty wins don't move the ledger.

Oregon and OSU at home won't move the ledger at all. You can't say "2 in vegas will get us in for sure" until you know who you're playing in Vegas. I think it will take 2 wins in Vegas over teams above UW in the pecking order (Zona, USC, UCLA, ASU, Utah) for UW to get in. UW could win 3 if the bracket shakes out poorly for them (over Cal, OSU, and Stanford) and lose in the title game and still not get in. UW has to win both this week and then hope they get their shot at one/two of those quadrant one wins (which is fucking stupid but that's another thread) in Vegas.
a 22 win team with our resume gets inHTH
a 22 win team with our resume gets inHTH Number of wins don't matter
FUCK.
a 22 win team with our resume gets inHTH Number of wins don't matter UW's best chance is for a couple of big upsets in the pac12 tourney. This is going to be one of those years where the committee basically looks at the P12 (and a few other conferences) tourney and says--"who really wants to be in?".If the conf. tourney started this week, and in Round 1 Cal upsets Utah and Colorado beats ASU (while UW beats Wazzu)--UW would leap frog 2 of the 3 they need right there...Then if Oregon took out USC in Round 2, while UW beat Stanford, all of a sudden UW is right back in it based on who their competitors lost to, not based on who they beat.TLDR; Pac 12 tourney is going to be extremely important this year. Basically 5 teams fighting for 2 spots, and whoever the 2 are who go the farthest probably get in.
ASU still being in the tournament is all you need to see that the formulas the NCAA uses are fucktarded. They prolly get bounced in the 1st rd of the Pac 12 tourney and still make a play in game at 8-11 in the conference.

Not much different than an SEC fball team going 4-0 against non con cupcakes and 2-7 in conference making a bowl game over a team that plays a tough non con schedule going 0-3 and then 5-4 in conference....

Teams that go 0-3 don’t go 5-4 in conference unless they are in the WAC
