I know it seems like this team has been in the final four for the past five seasons, but this year seems like they're being ranked on history to me..

Let's look at the losses this season first..
Michigan, Texas, Arizona State, and most recently Washington.

No terrible losses by any means at all, since Michigan has beaten Duke as well and Washington is currently on a roll and sitting atop the Pac-10.

Now, let's look at notable the wins this season...
Depaul? The Oregon Schools? Foul in a tied game with two seconds left Arizona?

Similar schools with this record wouldn't (and fairly shouldn't) be ranked inside the top twenty. Anyone know why they are so highly touted this season and have yet to back it up??? My guess is media perception.
