Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3051092, member: 9403"] Ok, but according to Massey, UCLA is 26th in the country - second best AAC team after UConn is all the way down at #44. So Oregon's playing 8 teams in the top 50, most of them twice, and UConn is playing one, UCF. That's it. I totally agree with you that Oregon needs to find a way to win, but UCLA is a legit team that failed to put it all together in a single game - until tonight. Just ask every SEC and ACC team this season how hard it is to run the table when you're playing good teams week in, week out. It's not surprising to me that Baylor and UConn are now #1 and #2 - they're the two teams that face almost no serious conference competition. Again, that doesn't excuse Oregon for losing when it shouldn't have, but it does serve as a reminder that when you play a lot of extremely solid teams in a row, eventually you will run out of gas or have an off night. PAC-12 doesn't forgive that in the way that some conferences do. [/QUOTE]
