UCLA loses to Oregon State. The Bruins are quickly playing themselves out of the NCAA tournament discussion and the PAC-12 has become a huge mess with only one team looking really solid for an NCAA tournament bid in Arizona. Arizona State should be a lock as well based on non-conference play but their 2-4 record league scares me a bit. I think they get to 10 to 12 conference wins but if they continue to slide to bottom of the PAC-12 then I am not sure they earn a bid. USC is next the best thing in that conference but they are no where close to being a sure thing. Stanford was awful in the non-conference but is 5-1 and sitting in first place at the moment. Colorado, Washington, Utah, UCLA, and Oregon are just sitting there in the middle of standings, not sure if any make a move. Most predictive models have all four winning between 8 to 10 conference games, which in that league equals NIT.
