Only four out of the 23 pickers don't have a Pac-12 team in the final four.

There's a very health respect for the conference nationally going into this year.

True, but where is the respect for the back-to-back reining Pac-12 Champions?  Only 1 of the 23 picked Stanford to win the Pac-12.  Last year most of the pundits predicted that we would lose to Oregon, but we had them literally crying on the sideline in the 3rd quarter.  For how many years do we have to pound our Pac-12 opponents to earn a little respect?  It's okay, though, because this will give Shaw good fodder to fire up the team.
