San Diego,CA- The No.10 ranked San Diego State Aztecs will be playing in the Final Four at the end of the season according to SI.com’s College Basketball analyst Seth Davis.

In SI.com’s 2013-14 college basketball midseason Crystal Ball aritcle Seth Davis predicted that Final Four will be Arizona, Kansas, Michigan State, Iowa and the San Diego State Aztecs. To show how much respect Seth Davis has for the San Diego State Aztecs, the Aztec’s aren’t even his Darkhorse pick as the Iowa Hawkeyes are. The San Diego State Aztecs are in his opinion expected to make the Final 4.

To anyone who doesn’t follow College Basketball or the San Diego State Aztecs for the matter this prediction might sound ridiculous, but if you have been paying attention then you know already that the Aztecs have been one of the most impressive teams in the country so far this season. The Aztecs are ranked No.10 in the country their highest ranking since the 2010-11 season, when the Aztecs were ranked No. 6 entering the NCAA Tournament. The Aztecs also had their highest ranking in school history that season, as the Aztecs were ranked No. 4 in the nation at one point during the 34-3 season. In program history the Aztecs are 22-3 all-time as a Top 10 team.

The Aztecs also continue to be the highest ranked team on the west coast, with the only other west coast team ranked in the Top 25 poll’s is UCLA, which is 25th in both. The Aztecs have defeated three Top 25 teams this season. Then ranked No.18 Creighton, No. 25 Marquette and No. 16 Kansas.
