UCLA vs. Stanford is still underway, I'll update later, but: | Team | Conf. | Overall | Remaining Matches | | Stanford | 12-2 | 21-3 | @ Oregon, @ Oregon State, Washington, Washington State | | Washington | 12-2 | 22-3 | Arizona, Arizona State, @ Stanford, @ California | | UCLA | 12-3 | 25-3 | USC, (Pepperdine), Oregon State, Oregon | | USC | 12-3 | 23-3 | @ UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State | | Oregon | 7-7 | 17-7 | Stanford, California, @ USC, @ UCLA | | California | 6-8 | 17-8 | @ Oregon State, @ Oregon, Washington State, Washington | | Arizona State | 5-10 | 13-13 | @ Washington State, @ Washington, Arizona | | Washington State | 3-11 | 15-13 | Arizona State, Arizona, @ California, @ Stanford | | Arizona | 3-12 | 12-15 | @ Washington, @ Washington State, @ Arizona State | | Oregon State | 0-14 | 3-20 | California, Stanford, @ UCLA, @ USC |
Washington vs. Stanford/UCLA winner tonight have the best chance of winning with remaining schedule and current standings. USC needs help plus a huge win @ UCLA to jump into top spot: The help would be A) UCLA def. Stanford tonight, B) Stanford def. Washington later, C) winning tiebreaker over UCLA. Oregon, Cal, and Arizona State still fighting for NCAA berths... what a great battle! |

UCLA in great shape if they can win tonight, but that's not looking good. What a conference. I don't know how the NCAA is gonna separate them come seeding time. Those top 4 are all equal

I think it will truly force the NCAA committee to think, instead of pulling whatever they find up their butts.

Actually, assuming UW beats the Arizona schools at home and beats CAL, your scenario would leave a four way tie for first (all at 15-3), not just a two way tie between USC and UCLA. I am pretty sure the PAC-10 does not look at overall record, but just conference record. At least they don't in basketball, but maybe volleyball is different. I have NO idea how they determine the automatic berth from a four-way tie. However, the PAC-10 goes with "co-Champions" and they don't decide the "PAC-10 Champion" based on tie breakers. |

Hehe... I guess you're right... sorry about that!
How cool would a 4-way tie for the Pac-10 conference be?!

USC still has a big important match at UCLA.
For me personally, I want USC to go into postseason with huge confidence. Sweeping Bay Area schools is huge booster for them!

If the remaining matches and current records are accurate there can't be more than a 2 way tie for first in the Pac-10.
Washington and Stanford have 14 matches played and 4 matches remaining for a total of 18 conference matches.
UCLA has 14 matches played and 3 matches remaining for a total of 17 conference matches.
USC has 13 matches played and 4 matches remaining in conference for a total of 17 conference matches.
Without the same total number of conference matches for all 4 teams they can't all tie for first place.

Oh, and USC-Cal was still underway, as well. |

Hehe... I guess you're right... sorry about that! How cool would a 4-way tie for the Pac-10 conference be?! Sorry, but I would prefer a three-way tie between Stanford, USC and UCLA... for second.  |

Well, with Stanford beating UCLA, it looks like the title will come down to Stanford hosting Washington! That being no upsets

I don't care about the PAC 10 title. I'm stoked that I got to see my main man, Garrison Keillor, at the live broadcast of "A Prairie Home Companion" in Honolulu today. Yippeeeeeeeee! Btw, I hear he's a big Rainbow Wahine Volleyball fan. |
