the 2 seed (referring to a potential semifinal opponent) because Gonzaga and SMC are comparable in difficulty this year.
Surprising that Pacific is at 4-4 in the conference because they looked horrible against BYU.
You are right that BYU has 3, 4, 5, and 6 place teams at home in the next round. But I guess that BYU goes 2-2 in those four games.
