The right to play Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship will likely go down to the last weekend. That proves the amount of depth in this conference, especially in the South division. And it is the South that dominates the top half of our ballots for this weeks power poll, as it has most of this season.
Here are our individual ballots:
Shane | Steven | Alex | Adia | Adam | Dustin | |
1 | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon |
2 | UCLA | ASU | UCLA | UCLA | ASU | ASU |
3 | Utah | UCLA | ASU | ASU | UCLA | UCLA |
4 | USC | Utah | USC | USC | Utah | Utah |
5 | Arizona | USC | Arizona | Arizona | USC | USC |
6 | ASU | Arizona | Utah | Utah | Arizona | Arizona |
7 | Stanford | Stanford | Stanford | Stanford | Stanford | Cal |
8 | Cal | Cal | Washington | Washington | Washington | Stanford |
9 | Washington | OSU | Cal | Cal | Cal | OSU |
10 | OSU | Washington | WSU | WSU | OSU | Washington |
11 | WSU | WSU | OSU | OSU | WSU | WSU |
12 | Colorado | Colorado | Colorado | Colorado | Colorado | Colorado |
A lot more love for ASU than I would have thought, considering ASU just lost to OSU, a struggling team, this past weekend. UCLA has bounced back nicely this last third of the season, and is in prime position to win the South. And, not to forget, the Utes are still in a great position in the conference standings.
Here is the overall power poll from Block U.
