Utes Fall From ESPN's Bracketology
Looks like Joe Lunardi took that loss pretty hard.
The college basketball analyst at ESPN dropped the Utes from his weekly "bracketology" prediction of the NCAA Tournament field today, after they fell at San Diego State over the weekend.
In their place?
You guessed it, the Aztecs.
In fact, Lunardi now is picking the Aztecs to win the Mountain West Conference tournament title and the automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament that accompanies it, after choosing the Utes for that spot previously. The Aztecs are predicted to have a lower seed -- No. 12, compared to No. 11 -- than the Utes, however.

Does Lunardi not know that the MWC gives UNLV an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney. The only team in America that gets an automatic bid for free, why would he pick the Aztecs when the Rebels are guaranteed the berth.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. While I wouldn't go quite so far as to say the league "guarantees" the berth to the Rebels (the Rebels at least have to be good, to take full advantage of their home-court edge in the tournament), I did find it interesting that Lunardi does not envision the Rebels making it, one way or the other. Of course, they did just lose to TCU, so maybe he's on to something ...
