Biggest problem the WCC has is winning OOC games.

Our second strongest team (SMC) scheduling powder puffs doesn't help the WCC. The third strongest team (BYU) scheduling mediocre teams doesn't help the conference either.

GU is carrying the lion's share of the work as far conference RPI. They schedule tough opponents and win. Then when SMC or BYU get "overlooked" we all complain.

SMC and BYU need to carry their weight with the OOC schedule. The rest of the league does too.

Conference is 8-1 so far in the post season.

Who's the one loss?

WCC gets at least two. If BYU goes on a streak and loses in the finals there's a chance we get in.

If BYU miraculously wins the WCC tourney, I don't see the committee snubbing GU and SMC.

Good point Gunk.

The good news is that the Pac-12, Big 10, and MWC are looking at much fewer bids than in the past. That might get BYU into it if they can split with GU, win all the rest of the games and beat GU in the semi's of the tourny (and then lose to SMC in the champ-because if they win they are auto bid).
How many bids do you think the WCC can possibly get? I think 2 is the Maximum this year.

I'd say 1-3 is conceivable, but 2 is very likely.

SMC has struggled to get a good OOC schedule for many years now. They need to move up in that regards if they can sustain this level of play.

I will say it is a better feeling this season to be in the WCC with 2 teams past mid-season in the top 20. The MWC only has 1 team getting any votes (Nevada) and they lost to the current 7th place WCC team (SF).

SMC is good, no question, but I honestly think had they played a bunch of top 50 teams they would have dropped a couple. They are good. I don't think they are top 15 good. Maybe top 25. They are benefiting from a winning streak, not necessarily who they have beaten, although GU at Spokane is a legit win.
