UW's loss to Stanford puts WSU in the driver's seat

With the Washington Huskies' loss to the Stanford Cardinal last night, the Pac-12 North just got wild.

Here are the standings as of this morning:

Right now, Stanford has one more conference game to play, while UW and WSU both have two.

So, with a hat tip to Craig for explaining this to me, here are the ways each team wins the division:

  • WSU: Wins out
  • Stanford: Beats Cal and needs WSU to lose once
  • UW: Beats Utah and WSU and needs Stanford to lose to Cal

As you can see, your Washington State Cougars are the only team that controls its own destiny, but it's a daunting task.
