The 2011 Pac-10 tournament bracket odds table above lists the round-by-round survival odds for every 2011 Pac-10 tournament team. Using win odds calculations derived from our sophisticated power ratings, we analyze the likelihood and expected outcome of every possible path to the Pac-10 tournament championship for every team in the 2011 Pac-10 bracket.

The 2011 Pac-10 standings (http://www.teamrankings.com/ncb/conference-tournaments/pac-10/) determine the seeds of the teams in the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament bracket. The teams with the best Pac-10 conference records receive top seeds in the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament.

A team's relative odds to win the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament depend only partly on their Pac-10 bracket seed. Winning the Pac-10 Tournament also depends on the dynamics of the 2011 Pac-10 bracket. In some cases, the team with a better Pac-10 Tournament seed may actually face a harder path to the Pac-10 Tournament championship than a team with a worse Pac-10 tournament seed.

In addition, because Pac-10 tournament seeds are based on win-loss records in Pac-10 conference games, Pac-10 tournament seeds are not always the most accurate measure of a team's true performance level. This is another reason why higher seeded teams in the Pac-10 bracket can have better odds to win the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament than lower seeded teams in the Pac-10 bracket.
