Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4829967, member: 6927"] Over the past few days I started digging into the imbalanced conference schedules to get a sense of which teams drew the shorter or longer straws. In the Pac-12, if we take our top 5 as UCLA, Stanford, Utah, USC and Colorado, then it appears that Stanford and Cal drew the lightest schedules since they play UCLA/USC and Utah/Colorado only once each. The Oregon schools, meanwhile, seem to have drawn the most difficult schedule since they are the only pairing to play each of the top 5 teams twice each. I'm still in a state of bewilderment that the Pac-12 is in its swan song. But it appears to be ending on a high note. I won't be at all surprised if the conference gets 9 teams in the NCAA tournament and 5 teams in the top 16. Way too early to know how that will shake out, but it'll be fun to watch one last time.
