With the home split the Stanford men are still holding on to the projected #5 seed and a first round bye in the Pac-12 Tournament.
Here are the Pac-12 standings as of Tuesday morning:
USC 11-2
UCLA 10-3
Oregon 7-3
Colorado 10-5
Stanford 9-6
(Arizona) 8-7
Utah 6-7
Oregon State 6-8
Arizona State 4-6
Washington State 5-10
Washington 3-12
Cal 3-13
The only change in the top part of the standings is that Oregon moved up to #3 and Colorado down to #4. The other big issue is that the #3 seed is slipping away. Stanford has five games left in the regular season, including @ USC and vs Oregon. They may need to win all five to move up two spots in the standings. As a #4 or #5 seed, Stanford will face either Oregon or Colorado in their first tournament game.
In any case, Stanford absolutely needs a road sweep in Washington this week. They did accomplish this last season, so let's hope lightning strikes twice.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
