In the alternate universe of PantherNation, no less than half the regular posters believe that an at-large birth is possible. To be fair, the other three posters disagreed.
I think ISUr is for real. They play defense at a high level and have athletes to execute. That's always a tough win! Will they lose a game they shouldn't? Yep! All but three conference champions have in the last 28 years.
NOTE: I'm not conceding a championship to ISUr, but they are really good right now.
