I have a feeling your prediction will be incorrect. I'd actually be surprised if Wisconsin doesn't sweep Oregon. Oregon has been good lately. They defeated UCLA at home, and gave the Huskies a scare in Eugene. I admit I am a Pac 12 homer, but I seriously think that the Ducks can defeat the Badgers. Nothing is guaranteed and Oregon has enough talent to compete but Wisconsin is frustrating to play. They have the best player in the country that sets a fast and deceptive offense, they pass and dig very well, and are overall very scrappy. I haven't watched much of Oregon (a few matches) but they didn't strike me as a team that has one of two attributes which is required to beat Wisconsin, i.e. major offensive firepower and/or extreme consistency of overall play. Wisconsin doesn't have any glaring weakness and they don't beat themselves, every point is earned.

Washington is the best serve/pass/defend team in the country. I don't see how Nebraska fans can be so confident. The Huskers are also a good pass/defend team but I'd give Washington the edge.

If Nebraska gets to Ohama they will be a hard force to stop.

Nebraska will breeze on through to Omaha. I don't see how anyone could say this seriously. Washington is fantastic and very well could have been a top-4 seed. If that's the Elite 8 match-up, it's going to be a war.

If that's the Elite 8 match-up, it's going to be a war. Washington is very mortal away from home. Nebraska is a tremendous passing time. But, the key to me is that Washington doesn't come close to matching Nebraska's talent at the pins.

These are my favorite kinds of threads... The ones that give us no chance...
We are 1-0 against Neb this year, FYI

Thank you, tomclen. Alexa Gray is our Macey Gardner. With her, BYU can play with anybody. If she tanks, BYU tanks. But with her and our 2 middles, I like our chances. Do we miss Hamson? Holy crap, yes.
