I think we have done enough to get that top 8 seed (if anything, because of some absolute chaos out there with the would be chasers of the Cardinal). I think a compelling argument could made for a seed as high as #4. I will set my prediction as a #6 seed.

I thought that the NCAA was contractually obligated to set the top 8 seeds as Oklahoma, UCLA and 6 SEC schools.

Great joke spiny. And hence my hesitation in definitively predicting a top 8 seed, certainly after the UW home series loss and before the UO win. It would be a travesty if this team didn't get a top 8 seed, but there are plenty of people elsewhere in the country (SEC country for example or down in LA) who think we shouldn't get a top 8 seed because of our performance against the top teams in the Pac, or because of our offense (or both). But in a crazy scenario with Northwestern, Duke, Washington and maybe even Texas all seeded higher than us, I could see a #9 seed.
