  1. No. 5 Stanford (Last: 2)

  1. Utah (Last: 7)

 

The Utes have been a pleasant surprise this season, only losing one game. They had a big win over Colorado and have a crucial match-up this weekend against Stanford.

 

  1. No. 10 Oregon State (Last: 4)

 

Oregon State recieved their first loss of conference play this past Sunday at the hands of Arizona State in double overtime. They look to rebound from their loss as they take on the Washington schools next.

 

  1. No. 19 Arizona State (Last: 6)

 

The Sun Devils have not had the start to conference play they were hoping for, but after a gritty win over Oregon State, they look to be headed in the right direction as they go into the second half of conference play.

 

  1. Cal (Last: 8)

 

The Golden Bears took advantage of their home court by winning both of their conference games against WSU and UW. Their next contests will be a road trip to Colorado and Utah.

 

  1. Arizona (Last: 3)

 

The Wildcats had to take on three top-10 ranked teams in a one-week span, where they ended up losing to all three. Their schedule lightens up a bit as they look to move back up the standings after they take on USC and UCLA this week.
