The Big Ten hasn't had a women's basketball team reach the NCAA Final Four since 2005 when Michigan State was the national runner-up.

But if the national RPI rankings are any indicator, that could change this year.

That kind of Beltway Booyah moment helps account for why Gregory loves hosting "Meet the Press," NBC's venerable Sunday morning public-affairs program he took over four years ago.
