PAC 12 Basketball Power Rankings

by CODawg on Jan 24, 2012 12:32 PM PST

Here are my newest Power Rankings. Feel free to post your own.

1. CAL 16-5 6-2 - a win over WSU would have made them a clear #1, but instead its close with the top 4.

2. Oregon 15-5 6-2 - two nice home wins for the ducks last week.

3. UW 12-7 5-2 - played 3 good quarters last weekend. Tough road ahead.

4. CU 13-6 5-2 stood strong at home. Maybe the best coach in the conference.

5. Stanford 5-3 15-5 - swept on the road and should lose 3rd straight on Sunday.

6. Arizona 4-3 13-7 - couldnt win in Boulder.

7. WSU 3-4 11-8 - great homestand for the Cougs. Can they steal one in Arizona?

8 OSU 3-5 13-7 - nice bounce back over the LA schools.

9. UCLA 3-4 10-9 - getting swept in Oregon for the team picked to win the conference. Good thing Bruin nation is having some recruiting positives

10 Utah 2-5 5-14 - because they beat ASU, not as bad as I once thought.

11. ASU 2-5 6-13 - UW better beat them.

12 USC 0-7 5-15 - still no conference wins but Utah comes to town this week. A loss could have them looking at 0-18.

Doing this Power Ranking has really made me see just how bad the PAC 12 is in basketball. There is just no defending it. Our best team lost in Pullman and shouldve lost in Seattle. This could really be the year that only our conference champion makes the tournament.

Nicely done

I agree with everything except I would swap Colorado and us.

It’s hard to say that but I think so. You are more of a man than I…….

Those were probably

the two i thought longest about. But, I think they way we played the second half against Cal and the addition of ASJ on Saturday pushed them ahead.

I like your thinking. Go dawgs!

Our conference is pretty terrible!

Hurt for me to say that, ouch!

I think USC picks up their first conference win this week. We need a big road showing this week to climb back to the top of the conference. One good thing, nobody is running away with this one, despite our bad play we can still claim the conference. That Cal loss in Seattle hurts a bit but we can still come through.
