The Pac-12 is moving. Coming into the tournament the conference was #6 behind the Big10 (14), Big12 (10), SEC, ACC and Big East. Now the Pac-12 is #4, passing the ACC and BigLeast. The SEC is within striking distance. And a rising tide lifts all boats. OSU is now #63. Obviously our wins help a lot but then the wins of others move us too. Going into the USC game on 1/19 we were #153. Going into the Colorado game on 2/8 we were #116 and then dropped to #123. Then as follows: after ASU on 2/14, #121, after Utah on 2/18, #107, after Colorado on 2/20, #107, after California 2/25, #111, after Stanford 2/27, #100, after Utah 3/3, #93, after Oregon 3/6, #103, after UCLA 3/11, #96, after Oregon 3/12, #85, after Colorado 3/13, #84 and now after Tennessee, #63. If you took out the Portland and Wyoming game, probably 20 spots higher. Pom uses stats to make predictions on games. Friday evening when it was first published he gave OkSU a 69% chance of winning. Now it is 65%.
