Well, things continue to blow up in the Pac 10. It is becoming more and more clear that two or three teams are going to get into the Dance, and no more. Teams like Oregon State continue to pull off upsets, teams like Washington, California, and Arizona State find themselves with BAD losses, and teams that normally play solid, fail to show up for a game or two out of nowhere.

Still, as bazaar as this week has been, Saturday's games went relatively as can be expected. So, in short, we have another huge shake up from last week, which saw teams like Oregon fall from #1 to #6. What kind of shake up do we have in store this week? Here we go....

1. Arizona State ( LW #1)

ASU has won four straight and just completed a difficult sweep of the Oregon schools in Eugene and Corvallis, respectively. ASU has now won four straight and might be playing the most consistent ball in the Pac 10. They keep the crown for the second straight week.

2. Washington (LW #10)

To illustrate how strange this season has been, Washington, who started as #1, dropped all the way down to #10 last week, but now has risen back to #2 for two reasons. First, NOBODY ELSE in the Pac 10 deserves the #2 slot. Second, UW finally got it together with back to back blow out wins against the bay area schools.

3. Southern Cal (LW #8)

Another illustration of how weird the season has gone is USC. USC has a difficult start to the season and is looking awfully bad, but then, they get a week off and obliterate a weak UCLA team, Still, #3 is a goods spot when looking at the rest of the Pac 10 teams, considering everyone else lost this week.

4. California (LW #4)

California goes to Washington State and wins a tough game in the Palouse, but before they can full of themselves, they are beaten handily by Washington. I just can't figure this season out.

5. Arizona (LW #3)
am
I couldn't be too tough on Arizona who split this weeks games in Oregon. They lose a close one in Corvallis but then beat up on Oregon.

6. Washington State (LW #5)

Another ho-hum week. Nothing special as Wazzu loses to Cal in a close one, but then beats Stanford, also in a close one.

7. Oregon State (LW #9)

After a win against Arizona, it's got to be worth something. OSU looked good in both of their games despite the loss to ASU.

8. Stanford (LW #2)

Stanford, who was supposed to be among the worst in the Pac 10, finally crashed back to earth this week after a great last week. Getting blown out by Washington and then losing a close one at Washington State will land you a spot in the bottom three.

9. Oregon ( LW #6)

Blown out twice at home against the Arizona schools. Looks like Mac Court isn't what it used to be.

10. UCLA (LW #7)

Destroyed by USC? We're not in Kansas anymore.
