I hope you're wrong and beating UW would be enough.

We are 21 in the Net ranking. According to ESPNs bracketology we are the first one on the outside. The 4 teams they have just ahead of us have about the same record and their Net rankings are 45-56. If we beat UW and lose to Stanford we should finish with the 3-5 best Net ranking in a conference that is expected to send 7-8 to the tourney.

edit: Oregon went from 21 to 18 in the NCAA's net ranking after this weekend. How would the NCAA leave out a top 20 in their own ranking from a 68 team field?
Yeah, I think beating UW would be enough.
