I am surprised that Sather wasn't playing as well. She must be struggling or hurt or they must be really deep at outside for her not to be playing. I am sure they would be playing their best lineup for the start of conference season.

I, too, was surprised that Sather hardly played when UCLA was in Hawaii. But Daley did play that well.

Um, upset? UCLA is ranked #3 in the country and Oregon is...well, Oregon. I don't get it? It means UCLA made Oregon mad.

To be precise, the Pablo ranking is not as important as the Pablo scores. Oregon had a score of 7780 while UCLA had a score of 8050. However, there was a home court advantage worth 347 points, which when added to Oregons 7780, gave the Ducks a total of 8127, making them Pablo's pick, having 77 more points than UCLA. Of close to 40 VT pick-the-winners contestants, I don't think any of them picked Oregon; shows the vulnerability of Pablo so early in the season but also makes one shake his head in awe at Pablo's overall stats, something like 83% correct if I recall correctly. When all was said and done, Pablo got about 84.5% right last week (I tried putting in ChipNDink's weighting suggestion, and it went up to 85.4%). It's a little behind this week, running only about 82% right now for the week, the weekend has the most matches, and therefore has the bigger impact. Pablo is going to get a lot more wrong when teams separated by less than 100. For a difference of 77, the probability of getting it right is only about 55%. When they are close like that, Pablo is basically saying it doesn't know what to do about it.
