Having only two games separate the Nos. 2-10 teams in the standings creates some intrigue. That's also a limiting factor in NCAA Tournament selections, with Washington (10-1) as the league's only lock.
The Huskies have a three-game lead with seven games to play. California (0-11) is doomed to finish last. Otherwise, the standings are a delightful mess and the games are wonderfully unpredictable.
Utah (7-4) is tied with Arizona State and Oregon State for second place, going into home games Thursday vs. Arizona and Saturday vs. ASU. Where will the Utes finish? Somewhere between second and 10th is the only sure answer.
