Do you guys think 4 of the top 6 teams in the country will be in the FF? Or would another or two "cinderella" team(s) would make it like last year?

Does everyone forget that Wisconsin lost to unranked UCSB? The Big Ten is looking pretty overrated to me.

But that doesn't seem to matter, does it? No one seems to care that Stanford lost to BYU. I wouldn't even care about statements like this (and your worship of the Pac10) except that someone needs to be objective. That's I. ;D

Florida is right on the cusp, and definitely capable of getting there. Texas has been up and down, but still have a lot of weapons and could put it together anytime. Wisconsin and Minnesota have shown they can compete with these top teams. Utah is an unknown here, could be a dark horse. San Diego could be this year's Santa Clara. Oklahoma (although a different conference) could be this year's Tennessee.... no doubt, it will be an interesting post-season.....

Utah is pretty overrated in my eyes. Don't expect a sweet 16 out of them unless they are gifted it in the bracket.
Florida, again, could be gifted, and the fact they host is another reason to not count them out.
Hawaii has to be in the mix, always.
San Diego doesn't have the mental prowess.
Wisconsin will choke, as they should.
Minnesota hasn't shown a lot more than Big ten wins, but big whoop.

My "dark horse" is Cal Poly. They will win the one region where there are no PAC-10 teams

The Big12? Hard to judge. I think there's a big dropoff after the top 3 -- as there is in the Big10. But those teams from 4 on down don't get the respect of California, ASU and Oregon. And USC, UCLA and Stanford all get too much respect. Especially this year. Again, UCLA over Florida and USC over Utah is the best that can be offered. And I'm starting to wonder about that UCLA over Florida match.

I think Florida wins 6 out of 10 (or more).

IB, the difference is that no one is promoting Minnesota or Wisconsin (or Texas or Oklahoma) as top six teams.
Meanwhile, the Pac10 just kind of slides in there and no one (almost no one) bats an eye.

It's a down year for the Big12. I think the BIG 12 will only get 4 teams into the tourney this year....they really only deserve 3 bids.
