That's what I am thinking as well.

I don't get the line but I don't think it will move much. I do think this is a great betting opp bc I think we will win by at least 6 and likely double figures.
They're getting the benefit of hanging with AZ but not playing on the west coast with a team that really hasn't been tested is not good them and good for us. I think our top four teams are better than the top four in the pac 12.

Care to back up your 'wow' with some actual substance?
I said top 4 not top 3. I do believe that SMU, cincy, temple and Tulsa on the aggregate are stronger than the top 4 in the pac12. AZ notwithstanding SMU is better than the rest. And ucla is worst than temple and Tulsa. Even the rpi has UCLa lower ranked than temple and Tulsa.

No.
Not sure how that relates to the discussion comparing PAC with AAC.

Doing a statistical comparison, the only advantage UCLA has is on the boards. They are very good. We aren't a bad rebounding team, but they are one of the best in the country.
Outside of that, our scoring defense, 3 pt defense, fg defense, and fg shooting are much better. We also get to the line more than they do, and they foul a ton and don't draw a lot of fouls, which indicates a lack of athleticism.
UCLA would finish tied with or worse than Memphis in our league. I would expect SMU to control the game and win pretty easily in the end, barring a spate of turnovers or something crazy happening. From a statistical standpoint, the line is low.
