I think Hawaii was given the benefit of a doubt last week, not as much this week.
Stanford not sure is 6, & BYU should be 6, that seems a bit head-scratcher-ish, 7-12 pretty equal, but I'd keep BYU above that group.

We’re probably looking at the final 4 in lbsu, ucla, Irvine and GCU

We’re probably looking at the final 4 in lbsu, ucla, Irvine and GCU I wouldn't say that GCU is a lock to get to the final 4 at this point. They will likely be the 4 seed and the 5 will be the MIVA champ. I would not want to have to play whoever comes out of the MIVA. Streaky teams that could be very, very dangerous or very, very not. |

I think a final 4 is far from a lock
BYU, Pepp, Stanford while I doubt have as much chance, can't rule out a MPSF tourney win
then the MIVA champ whoever it is lol, not like they won't be able to win to get to the final 4
Same for Penn State
just not that much separation, and UCLA didn't run away from the field like it might have seemed they would before the season started.
until UCLA plays GCU, if one of those sweeps both matches, that team will be a huge at-large and final 4 favorite

Yeah, the MIVA appears to be unpredictable (read as “ hot mess”). And I can’t help but think back to 2022 when all top 3 teams did NOT win their auto-bids and Penn St was on the outside looking in. With so few at-larges, it could be a total crapshoot this year as to who gets them. So, every game is important. I do feel the Big West is poised to get both at-larges unless an MPSF team dominates Conference play but loses in the finals of the conference tourney.

Unpredictability, injuries, and lineup changes are REALLY going to make this last few weeks of the season and the Conference Tournaments fun to watch!
So many teams can play spoilermakers at the conference tourneys!

BYU’s quality win is over top RPI UCLA |

BYU's remaining matches are against Concordia twice, and USC twice. Even with 4 wins, their RPI will likely drop. I would think that they would need to get to the MPSF tournament finals (as well as sweep Concordia and USC) to get into contention for an at-large. |
