[QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4894698, member: 6927"]
I'm intrigued to see what the reveal looks like on Thursday. The resumes from 3 on down are right now such a messy jumble that I really don't know what to expect.

For the Pac-12, I give Utah about a 55% chance of breaking into the top 16 after big wins over Colorado and at USC.

Much has been made (and rightly so) about the grievously imbalanced Pac-12 schedule, so I wanted to track W-L record and % vs. the other teams in the top 6 :)

Stanford 3-2 (.600)
UCLA 5-4 (.556)
USC 5-4 (.556)
Oregon State 5-4 (.556)
Utah 4-5 (.444)
Colorado 3-6 (.333)

While Colorado now has the lowest win % vs the top 6 among these 6 teams, they're the only one of the 6 that has no losses to the bottom half of the conference.

But a caveat on that point is that a key player was absent in 3 of the 5 losses sustained by top-half teams to bottom-half teams (Stanford without Brink vs. Arizona, UCLA without Betts vs. WSU, Oregon State without Beers vs. Washington).
