50. Arizona (up 1)
53. Oregon (down 3)

Last weekend with those teams:
* Stanford, Cal, Oregon, and UVA were all idle
* UW beat both mountain schools handily; Utah beat WSU 4-3 in Pullman but WSU beat CU 4-2.
* Utah beat WSU 4-3 but lost to UW 4-0
* Both L.A. schools beat both Arizona schools; UA also lost at LMU before beating a couple of bad teams at home yesterday.
* Out of the Pac-12, Texas rolled over #34 Texas Tech and TCU and Pepperdine beat #57 Princeton and #58 BYU with ease.

Pac-12 standings:
T1. #19 Washington (13-4, 4-0)
T1. #13 UCLA (8-3, 4-0)
T3. #24 Stanford (7-2, 1-0)
T3. #14 Cal (7-5, 1-0)
5. #18 USC (10-7, 3-1)
6. #32 Utah (13-3, 2-2)
T7. #50 Arizona (10-6, 1-3)
T7. #25 Arizona State (8-5, 1-3)
T7. WSU (5-9, 1-3)
10. #53 Oregon (8-4, 0-2)
11. Colorado (5-7, 0-4)
This weekend sees the mountain schools visit Stanford/Cal, USC in Malibu to play Pepperdine, UCLA idle this weekend but kicking off a NorCal road trip at USF this Monday before visiting St. Mary's midweek and Cal/Stanford next weekend, the Arizona schools visit Oregon, UW is idle, and WSU plays at Gonzaga.
Stanford still controls its Pac-12 destiny, of course, and they're lucky to get USC/UCLA at Taube. UW, ASU, and Cal matches are on the road in April.
Meanwhile, the new USTA poll is out, and it's a much more optimistic view of Stanford:
5. Texas
8. Pepperdine
9. Virginia
11. Stanford
13. Cal
17. UCLA
19. Washington
23. USC
UCSB and ASU in the "others receiving votes" section.
