Think it was predetermined that the PAC was only going to get three teams in while the ACC and SEC should get 10 teams in each. That way we can complain how those conferences got ripped off and given no respect.

asu in over USC? The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on Selection Sunday. If I were a USC fan I would be absolutely livid.

2nd in Pac and in the championship game and with an RPI of 33. Loses out to a team that was 8-11 against their own conference and didn't win a tourney game and has an RPI of 66.

Would have loved to hear the discussion sound that decision.

I didn't mean it like that. I only mentioned UCLA and USC in the same breath because of the dumb alphabetical order format they're doing. Obviously UCLA deserves it.

This committee just made the statement that the conference season is meaningless. ASU finished 8th in the regular season and were the first team out in the tourney. USC finished 2nd in both. Unreal.

ASU was completely irrelevant in an irrelevant (nationally) conference.
