Does anyone want to win the Pac-12? The regular-season championship trophy has been dangling in front of the Oregon Ducks, UCLA Bruins and Cal Golden Bears all week, but no one has stepped up and grabbed it. Cal was manhandled by Stanford -- at ho...

Arizona and UCLA were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the preseason Pac-12 media poll. Yet neither team will be in first place when they square off Saturday at Pauley Pavilion on "College GameDay." UCLA (11-4 in conference) trails league lea...

In most leagues, the race for the conference title is down to two or three teams. The Pac-12 is different. Arizona and Oregon are tied for first place in the conference standings at 10-4. But five other teams are within two games of the Wildcats and ...

Who wants it? Or rather, does anyone want it? More and more these days the Pac-12 title seems like a greased pig being chased around a pen. Teams get their hands on it, but none of them can sustain a grip. Arizona? UCLA? Colorado or Oregon? Eve...

It's time to stop hating on the Pac-12. Or at the very least, let's tone down the criticism. The quest for the league title is as entertaining as any conference race in the country, and the parity in the Pac-12 has produced some of the closest, most ...

Just when everything seemed set up for Oregon to win the Pac-12 title, the Ducks got lambasted by Stanford on Wednesday, and now nothing is certain. Whatever happens, it appears that the race for the league crown is going to be one of the most intere...

Arizona finally ran out of good fortune and, as a result, we have a new contender for the Pac-12 title. Here are this week's power rankings. 1. Oregon -- The unranked Ducks became the first team this season to defeat No. 4 Arizona when they pulled...

The assumption for most of the past two months was that Arizona would win the Pac-12 title with ease. The Wildcats looked extremely strong -- and the rest of the league didn't. But as conference play opens this week, the thinking has changed. Arizona...

The Pac-12 is far from the best league in college basketball, but it will certainly be one of the most competitive. The difference in teams ranked between No. 2 and No. 12 isn't all that huge, which should definitely make for some entertaining games ...

Is there any league in the country where the drop-off from No. 1 to No. 2 is so significant? At least the Big 12 has a ranked team (Oklahoma State) chasing Kansas. In the Pac-12 it's Arizona and then, well ... no one. Here are this week's power ranki...

The Pac-12 has a chance to pick up signature wins Saturday, when Arizona takes on Florida at the McKale Center and Cal hosts Creighton. Otherwise the upcoming weekend is rather humdrum. Here are the latest rankings. 1. Arizona: The No. 8 Wildcats ...
