Pac-12 Basketball Power Rankings: Pre-Thanksgiving Edition

How does the conference looking heading in to Turkey Day?

With Thanksgiving upon us, it's time for us as a staff to reevaluate how the Pac-12 looks as a whole heading into some pretty big non-conference games across the league.

Seven of us voted. For simplicity's sake, we're using golf scoring (lower is better). So teams get one point for first place votes, two for second, etc.

Here's how everything shook out. Most of these votes were cast on Monday or Tuesday.

Ranking (Change in ())	Team	Points
1 (0)	Arizona Wildcats	7
2 (0)	California Golden Bears	17
3 (+1)	Oregon Ducks	19
4 (-1)	Utah Utes	32
5 (+1)	Oregon State Beavers	40
6 (+1)	Colorado Buffaloes	48
7 (+3)	Washington Huskies	49
8 (+3)	USC Trojans	52
9 (-4)	UCLA Bruins	53
10 (+2)	Washington State Cougars	73
T-11 (-3)	Stanford Cardinal	78
T-11 (-3)	Arizona State Sun Devils	78

While Oregon is closing in on taking the second spot away from Cal, I think it's hilarious that before the year started, we had Stanford and ASU tied for 8th, and now we have them tied for last.

Washington was ranked anywhere from 4th to 10th on our ballots. UCLA was as high as 5th, and as low as 10th. Those were the ones with biggest discrepancies this week.

Are we overreacting to early results? Do you agree with what we've come up with as a staff? Let us know, and happy Feast Week!
