Then they roll into Lawrence a few weeks later. | |

Judging by their trend over the last few years I am leaning towards the later. I put Michigan in for the opposite reason. | |

My final four are my top 4 | They might not be now, but I feel confident that they will be in the Final Four. I did the same though, my Final Four are my top four.
Edit: We will get to find out if they are better than North Carolina pretty early this year though.

notable non conferences games (should give us a good idea if cal is for real):
North Carolina, Ohio State (coaches vs cancer)
