Yeah, it looks odd having Arizona State above Oregon, but they do have a better winning percentage (for now), and that’s the commonly accepted way to order standings, even though Oregon will win the Pac-10 if they win out because of the head-to-head tiebreaker.

As for the other ties in the standings (OSU-UCLA, Arizona-Cal), I put them in alphabetical order precisely because the head-to-head result doesn’t matter. Both teams will be credited as having finished in the same place in the standings, and bowls will get their choice of either team, regardless of who beat whom in the regular season. With the exception of determining the Pac-10’s automatic BCS bid, ‘tie-breakers’ are irrelevant (and even teams tied for 1st are considered to be co-champions).

TwistNHook, ESPN has Cal above Arizona because they use overall winning percentage as a secondary ordering determinant. If those are equal, they’ll go with alphabetical order, just as I did. (I ignored overall winning percentage because I don’t list the overall record.)

It is the Pac10 standings at ESPN. It lists ASU above Oregon for some reason. It does have Arizona below Cal, tho. Perhaps Ragnarok is so bummed out he couldnt bear put us higher

Well, guess what. After bashing the conference for weeks, it looks like I’ll be watching ACC football these next two weeks. What goes around comes around I guess.
Here are the likelihood of bowls, in order: Emerald Bowl (most likely), Sun Bowl (p…

Cal is ABOVE Arizona…and, really, at this point, Oregon should be at the top since it beat AssU (and despite the fact that they have played one fewer conference game…they may only be 5-1, but they are ahead of the 6-1 team anyway).

It’s the little things like that that make a difference in perception.

Go Bears…wherever you end up!!
