Close voting. All these teams seem like first round outs to me.

Washington really shouldn't be a bubble team, they are tied for first in a power-conference that just expanded. There isn't one other major conference out there in which the first-place team is considered a bubble team, the Pac 12 get's no respect, yet they always seem to win at least the first round NCAA games they play every year and usually are represented in the Sweet 16.

U-Dub Gets No Respect

I cannot believe how low the dawgs rankings are. The team is stacked. There are two first round draft picks in the next NBA draft in their starting five. (Tony Wroten and Terrence Ross) Not to mention C.J. Wilcox is projected as top 2nd round pick.
They have been to the NCAA tournament the last three years in a row and losing in close games to great teams. W. Virginia who went on to the Final Four, North Carolina who went to the Great 8 and Purdue who made it to the sweet 16. Plus Lorenzo Romar is one of the best coaches in college basketball.
This is a team that will not only make the tournament, but who will also make some noise when they get there. I guarantee that even the best teams in the nation when looking at their line up are thinking they really don't want to see them. I get East Coast bias but this is crazy.
The Pac 12 may not be as strong as it has been in the past but there is no way that the Pac 12s best team is not Washington and there is no way that the Pac 12s best team shouldn't be in the top 25 and going to the big dance. If UW was UCLA they would be in the top 15 but because they are Washington and up here in Seattle without the historical accolades they are barely in the top 75 and being talked about as a bubble team.
Two questions
Submitted by Raphielle Johnson on Wed, 2012-02-29 12:56.
1. Who has Washington beaten outside of Pac-12 play?
2. Who has anyone in the Pac-12 beaten outside of league play? Pretty sure the best non-conference win from a computer standpoint was Stanford beating Colorado State in the NIT Season Tip-Off. Just because you have future pros doesn't mean you should be ranked. Good example: UConn.
