The conventional wisdom is this UCLA team is not as good as last year’s UCLA which only finished third in the PAC 12. Yet this year’s team should have a great shot at winning the PAC 12. There are a number of reasons for this and in this post I will explain while this year’s team is the best.
The PAC 12 is Down
Last year the PAC 12 had three potential final four teams: UCLA, Arizona and Oregon which made the final four. Those other potential final four teams finished ahead of UCLA in the PAC 12 last year.
