Personally, I follow the D1 polls, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
It was only three years ago that Oregon State got screwed, finishing 4th in the Pac-12 (or was it 3rd) and they took a team that finished behind them. It motivated them to win it all, falling short by one game two years ago and then winning it last year. Not saying this should happen to Xavier, but it stings if it does.
