Pac-12 Power Rankings: Oregon Stays Put Despite Loss
By Alex Weber
2. Arizona
3. Washington
4. Oregon
5. UCLA
6. USC
Coming into the season, Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA were dubbed as the Teams to Beat in the Pac-12. So far, they’ve lived up to that moniker. They are quite literally teams to beat. Do you want to win a college basketball game? Then schedule these guys, they’re handing out wins to their opponents left, right and center. Arizona had less preseason hype than the other three and I’d say they’ve outperformed them and are a non-Complete Final 10 Minutes Debacle against Gonzaga away from owning the top spot on this entire thing.
For Pac-12 basketball fans, the days now are long and each met with agony every evening at 4 PM when college games start tipping off and we watch our beloved conference turn to toxic waste. And as an Oregon basketball obsessor, just don’t even ask about whether or not we’re winning. If you see me, simply wave and say, “how about that Bol Bol fella?” I’m hurting right now.
