Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Washington 41, Colorado 10— Huskies cruise to Pac-12 championship.

— Western Michigan 29, Ohio 23— Unbeaten Broncos win MAC title; next thing they’ll probably do is say goodbye to their coach, who will be getting big-money offers elsewhere.

— Major league managers will be relieved not to be picking All-Star Game reserves anymore; the Commish’s office will do it now.

— Bulls 111, Cavaliers 105— Cleveland is 0-3 so far this week.

— Duquesne 64, Pitt 55- Big upset in this crosstown rivalry.

— According to ESPN.com, since 2003, only 19.3% of regular-season NFL games have seen action in which more bettors were on the underdog more than the favorite. Public supported the under more than the over in just 11.6% of regular-season games.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: With December here, some college hoop knowledge……

13) ACC is currently ranked #1 in conference strength; last time they finished a season #1 was ten years ago. Last time they finished #2 was 2010.

12) Virginia Tech hasn’t made the NCAAs since 2007; they’re currently #32, with wins over Nebraska-Michigan. Buzz Williams has the Hokies headed towards the NCAA’s.

11) Eight of ten Big East teams are ranked in top 60; St John’s/DePaul are dragging the league’s rating down. It is amazing to me that schools in NYC/Chicago aren’t good and haven’t been good for a decent amount of time.

10) Teams who play the fastest tempo:
1) Citadel 3) BYU 5) Washington 6) Cal-Northridge

Teams who play the slowest tempo:
351) Virginia 350) St Mary’s 349) Wisconsin 348) Charleston

9) Teams making highest %age of 3-pointers:
Creighton 46.5%, UCLA 45.6%, Air Force 43.7%

8) Big West is getting pounded like a piñata this fall; their teams are 24-41 SU, 16-34 vs spread. Their conference rank has slipped from 13th to 21st- who is their best team? Hard to tell.

7) Big X ranked #1 the last three years; they’re ranked #2 right now. Texas at 4-3 has hurt the league so far- they’ve made only 26.2% of their 3’s, are playing pace #217. What happened to the entertaining, pressing style that Shaka Smart’s teams played at VCU?

6) St Mary’s hasn’t made NCAAs since 2013; last four years they made it, they went a combined 51-9 in conference play. Gaels are 6-0 this year with wins at Dayton/Stanford, they’ve got a great start towards making the NCAAs, with an experienced roster.

5) Last four years, Sun Belt was ranked 20-20-20-18th; they’re up to #14 this year. Tex-Arlington and Georgia State could have a great conference tournament final, with the one NCAA slot on the line. Those are two good teams that can win a game or two in March.

4) Iowa finished the last four years in the top 30; they’re #75 now with no wins against any team ranked above #318. Hawkeyes went 3-7 in their last ten games LY with the #55 experience team. Now that they’re inexperienced, it could be a long winter.

3) UCLA is off to a great start but they’re last in bench minutes, so they can’t afford injuries- their schedule is ranked #271. Bruins are playing at Kentucky Saturday- they’ve finished lower than 40th in five of last six years, but this year looks like it’ll be a big jump up for UCLA.

2) Teams that’ve played the hardest schedule, thru Thursday’s games:
1) Long Beach State 5) Michigan State 8) Cal-Riverside 10) Northern Iowa

1) Teams that’ve played the easiest schedules, thru Thursday’s games:
351) East Carolina 350) Miami OH 349) Memphis 347) Hawai’i 346) UNLV
