to be blunt, our schedule sucked.
not to offend the scheduling decisions that created it, but we had 17 home games and with some really low rated opponents, and King who won their bid last year turned out to be a RPI nightmare we played twice, and then other than UCLA only one tough road game until the BWCT (the one at Irvine), when you host Hawaii twice, should probably go find some better road opponents
just not a recipe for convincing any intelligent committee you deserve to be 1 seed
we practically I think should or could be the #1 seed. this team is deserving in that sense
sometimes some opponents don't work out, and it turned out I think the schedule saved some wear and tear on the team, so no big deal
but just not a 1 seed worthy schedule

likely #2 seed overall, although I think Beach rightly winning the BW & BWCT while UCLA lost, Beach should be #1, but doesn't matter in the end
huge win and finally win the BWCT for this group to do . one more goal - have to like where they are at.
I think as #2 with GCU & Ohio State if that is the way it comes as projected, it's the hardest side of the bracket. GCU is talented and hungry, and Ohio State has their stud OH Pasteur 100% healthy - the guy is a better defender and backrow player than Henno
an Ohio State - Grand Canyon quarterfinal if it happens will be a championship caliber match
no offense to UCLA, Penn State, Irvine, but that side of the bracket is the inconsistent team bracket.
