The top of the league sees four teams within two games of one another with just a couple games remaining. The certainties that exist are the Cougars and Sun Devils will play on the opening day.
The Oregon Ducks travel to Los Angeles for games against the Trojans and Bruins, who they defeated in Eugene earlier this season. For the Utes it is a Saturday home game against Colorado which is their lone game this week, they went 0-and-2 versus the U of O which will hurt in winning outright.
Cal makes a trip out to the desert this week with midweek trip to Arizona and closing with Arizona State, the Bears will need two wins and an Oregon loss to split since they did beat the Ducks this season. The Wildcats need a sweep versus the Bay Area schools plus the Utes/Ducks to lose out.
So how does this all shakeout this last week of the regular season? The Oregon Ducks should get one road win, however they did drop two road games last time out. The Oregon Ducks control their own destiny and are in good position to get a piece of the crown but do have a manageable two games to clinch. Oregon faces Cal on Wednesday night at 6pm Pacific Time on ESPN2.
