East Coast Bias
The PAC-10's failures in this year's NCAA Tournament do not East Coast Bias eliminate -- or excuse.West Coast basketball teams regularly receive less love and attention from ESPN and national print and online pundits. That being said, college 'ball has the tournament and so the bias has little impact.
College football has the poll-influenced Bowl Championship Series. East Coast Bias has certainly worked against Washington and USC in the past several years as both programs competed for the right to play for the national championship.
