Summary
The Conference of Champions is coming off an all-time heater in the NCAA Tournament. What's the follow-up going to be like? Matt Norlander and Gary Parrish have UCLA at No. 1 with a bullet, then think Oregon and USC will give decent chase. But reality is, this could be a four-bid league in 2022. Hard to see how it gets more than five, but we've got thoughts on every team, of course. Our series continues with a look around what's out West, including why Washington State will play in the postseason for the first time in a decade.
As referenced on the show, here is CBS Sports' preseason list of the 101 best players this season.
