Cannot really argue with this cats predictions. Although I think SC will be in last. And the separation in the top 3 is so close that anything can happen. Montgomery is probably the best offensive coach (although Dawkins at Stanford should be good in the future if he gets talent) but Howland and Romar are the better defensive coaches.
Should be a dogfight.
As much as I hate to admit it... UCLA will have a down year. Yes, Howland will get a lot out of our players... but just don't see the superstar teams of the past few years. I think we will be lucky to finish in the middle of a weaker Pac-10 and should be happy to get a bid to the Big Dance. That being said, Howland went all the way to the Championship game a few years ago with another team that was not receiving too much media attention at first, and in fact, was getting negative press up through the last game - so in short - who knows!
