Arizona has to crap the bed to not get in. 12-4-2 with RPI #20 and they get the Oregon’s and asu to finish
Colorado could be dead this time next week if they don’t get results with their RPI in the 50s

Not sure about Colorado yet. For the sake of the conference it would be nice, but... They have USC, UCLA and Utah remaining

Washington State, once off to a flying start, now has a bubble feel but... still faces Arizona, Cal and Stanford

Next in line is Utah, but they have USC, UCLA and Colorado

Arizona could make a late push. They have Arizona State, Oregon and Oregon State.

Could end up being just 3.

Time will tell.

These 4 are in:

Stanford
UCLA
$C
Colorado

3-4 of these will get in:

Arizona
Arizona State
Washington State
Utah

In my opinion Utah needs to beat Colorado assuming that they lose to the LA schools. Arizona State is in if they beat the Oregon schools this weekend even if they lose to Arizona and Stanford. Arizona is in if they get at least 5 points out of the next 3 games.
 
The battle for 4th place quite honestly is the most interesting race in the conference. There are 4 teams fighting for it, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State. Weirdly I think that Arizona State and Arizona have the best shot since they already played the LA schools. I’m thinking that the those rivalries are going to be epic. A win or draw for Colorado might be enough. A Utah win might do it. ASU has the narrowest path with them basically needing to sweep the Oregon schools and beat Arizona.

Should be fun down the stretch.
 
Final travel day of the regular season for my kid’s team. 3rd straight year going to the mountains. The team is at full strength and looking for a #2 seed which is very bad need for Utah and Colorado. The Buffs defense might give up 8 goals this weekend. Utah is much better defensively and will probably only give up 4-5 goals. I think that game against Stanford was eye opening for the coach and team and showed them that they are still in the 2nd tier of the conference. Still a great season for them especially if they make it to the sweet 16.

Santa Clara has two tough games and very well could lose both and play their way out of a national seed. Ask $C how tough San Diego is.
 
This is the 26th all-time meeting between Gonzaga and Pepperdine. The Waves lead the series, 18-5-2. The Waves have an 11-2-0 advantage in the meetings in Spokane. Pepperdine has won six of the last seven meetings, with a 1-1 draw coming in Spokane in 2014. The Waves coasted to a 4-0 win in Malibu last season. Bri Visalli recorded a hat trick for Pepperdine. The Waves outshot GU, 21-7. Pepperdine has won the last three meetings by a score of 13-0. Gonzaga's last win in the series was a 1-0 overtime home victory on Oct. 15, 2010. Pepperdine won the first all-time meeting, 4-1, in Malibu on Nov. 1, 1993.

- Pepperdine won its third straight game Sunday, 2-1, at home over Loyola Marymount.
- The Waves are unbeaten in their last four games, and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 matches, including a win over then-ranked No. 4 Santa Clara.
- Pepperdine has outscored its opponents, 13-4, over the last 10 matches.

- The Zags are unbeaten in seven of their last nine contests overall.
- Prior to last Friday's draw at USF, Gonzaga won three consecutive conference games for the first time since 2014, when the Bulldogs opened league play, 3-0.

Gonzaga (8-4-3, 3-2-1) vs. No. 25 Pepperdine (9-6-1, 4-1-1)

Two key games tomorrow, too. I'd love to see a tie or a loss got to BYU or SC
Click to expand...

That’s a good possibility. San Diego has some fast forwards (mason and Moses) and could catch Santa Clara looking ahead.

A realistic outcome would be a BYU tie to SC. BYU got up for Stanford at home and pushed them. No question there will be 3000+ releasing their tension at that game.
