The Bay is so bad to Oregon and always has been. Hopefully 3 in a row at home will be the answer. Last time Oregon won the league they were undefeated at home and swept the LA schools on the road in the final weekend. Here's to history repeating itself!
Colorado hanging with the Trojans so far. Should go into the half with a lead.

All three road teams win last night.

Rooting interests tonight:
OSU (Sorry HFN)
The other two games really impact the middle of the standings heading into the tourney down in Vegas. If Stanford and UCLA both win, you could end up with a big log jam of teams hovering just above .500 in league play.
I think we for sure want UCLA to win, unless we want Colorado to have the best possible resume by the time we play them.
I think Washington probably beats Stanford, but they'll have a tough roadie next week in Oregon before finishing up with WSU.
Speaking of WSU, they've got a chance to clinch the #12 seed with a loss tomorrow (even if ASU loses out, they swept WSU)...so that's something.

#6 Colorado 9-9 (finishes 1-2) (Up 1) vs. #11 ASU 4-11 (finishes 1-3) (Same)
#7 Washington 9-9 (finishes 1-2) (Down 2) vs. #10 Stanford (finishes 0-4) (Same)
#8 UCLA 8-10 (finishes 2-2) (Same) vs. #9 OSU 8-10 (finishes 2-2) (Same)
If I understand the tie breakers correctly in this scenario, Oregon gets it over us, but we get it over Arizona. Assuming Washington loses @Oregon, Colorado would have the tiebreaker over the Huskies by virtue of beating the Ducks once (vs. Wash being 0-1 and the two schools going 1-1 against each other). UCLA owns the tiebreaker over OSU by sweeping them head to head (assuming they win on the last day of the regular season).
WSU is locked into the #12 seed. Congrats to Ernie Kent!

This is also the last weekend that all 12 teams will be in action on both sets of days (Wed/Th), (Sat/Sun).

P12 POY should be down to Poeltl and Brooks. Utah holding serve at home this week with a big Saturday game from JP could seal the deal for him. Brooks could shove his way back in front with a huge performance and road win at SC, but that isn't as meaningful as it would've been before SC's recent slide.
Obviously I'm biased, but both are good players with bright futures. The way DB plays I have to be honest and say I wouldn't mind the idea of him playing with a perceived chip on his shoulder next year.

From what I've been told Brooks is pretty committed to return next year. Now if he believes he's a mid to high 1st round pick he should leave. The team very strongly believes that Boucher will get an additional year and be back next year. He is listed as a Senior and making appearances in a few mocks though.

Shit just got real. Buffs down Arizona by 3.
Well done Buffalos!
Beavs. I moved here in fall of 2000 to attend the U of O and OSU had their best football team ever that year. It was interesting to me to see the way the rivalries were in those first couple
of years. The Ducks view the Beavs as their embarrassing hillbilly relative that drinks cheap beer and makes socially awkward comments, but you kind of love them in a way. The Beavs feel the same about Ducks except replace hillbilly for hippie, cheap beer with weed etc.
Washington truly looks down their noses at Oregon, the peons from Oregon Duck or Beav are just not as sophisticated. Don't fit in at wine and cheese gatherings, don't even own a yacht! Gasp.
Man, Sean Miller is a baby. Did you hear him complaining about the fans storming the court? "One of these days an Arizona player is going to punch a fan in self defense."
Don't worry Sean, pretty soon it beating Arizona won't cause fans to rush the court.

Arizona's loss really makes things interesting for Cal. They play both USC and UCLA at home this week and are @Arizona next week. Arizona could be looking at the #4 seed heading into the tournament, which is just crazy.

Yes, this is the significance of last night's game as it pertains to the Utes. It sets up the path for us to get the 2 seed (if we win out), and for Oregon AND Arizona to be on the "other side" of the bracket. If Cal goes 3-1 (with the loss @Zona), and ties at 12-6 with them, Cal gets the 3 see and Zona the 4.
We all know how many Wildcat fans will be in Vegas. I'd much rather play Cal than Zona or Oregon in the semis.
