In every scenario, we have to play Oregon on our side of the bracket.  Not easy to beat a team 3 times in a row.

A reminder that we've beaten WSU 68 times in a row.  This is always a silly line.  I mean, sure, it is tough to go 3-0 against a reasonably evenly matched team.  However, conditional on having already beaten a team twice, beating them a third time is actually not as hard, all else being equal, I would prefer my chances against a team I've already beaten twice than against a team against whom I've split the first two games.  Oregon of course could beat us, as could Arizona or UCLA, or even "the field", but that's because they are a pretty good team, not because we have beaten them twice and they are somehow "due".
