    I mean, IF the committee had to pick someone, I guess it would be Arizona simply because the RPI difference between them and UW is too great to justify giving it to UW for a higher Pac 12 finish. Arizona St could be an option as well.

    Putting the regional in Arizona or Washington would still probably require 3 teams to fly to, so why not make 3 western schools fly to Lafayette for a regional?

    So how many western teams we talking about here that may need to be placed? I was just discussing this with friends earlier. They seem so spread out that you may still have 2 or 3 flying to the host site out west, the committee should just say "screw you guys and all of ya'lls crappy RPIs" and fly all of them east.

    I had started figuring out the western schools but then just gave up....or got hungry and went to lunch.

    Here is what I figured out:
    WCC champ (1 bid league; slight probability of it being a 2 bid league)
    MWC champ (1 bid league)
    WAC champ (1 bid league)
    Fullerton
    LBSU
    UCSB
    Utah or Washington (winner of the series gets auto bid; the other is left out)
    Arizona State
    Arizona

    Thanks for listing. I was looking at Nitty Gritty and kept getting a different count. So I assume if the WCC champ is anyone but Gonzaga, they may get two? Gonzaga's RPI is high enough for an at-large.

    SB Nation has us going west as the #1 seed. That would suck, although we could win it, IMO.

    Long Beach Regional

    4. Fresno State*

    2. Long Beach State
    3. Oregon State

    I may have missed one so let me know if you come up with someone different. Yes, I think Gonzaga has a high enough RPI ranking, but not sure about the rest of their resume. They earned a co-championship in the WCC (#11 RPI conference) but ended up as the 3 seed out of 4 teams in the tournament. 2-5 vs RPI top 50. I think they are on the bubble. D1 has two WCC teams as in the tournament (Gonzaga and Pepperdine). They must think Pepperdine is going to win the tournament.

    Moot point now as LBSU did not submit a bid to host so we won't be going there.

    You're correct, I forgot about that. Just don't want to see UL going west. Hope that it's FAU.

    Your list looks fairly accurate. It's just much easier tabulating that way than looking at the report and trying to pick out the teams. That's the reason I kept getting a different count every time I was trying to count them.

    And why again wouldn't UCSB be an option to host? Sorry if I missed it.
