Good Luck!

What a week. The Trojans beat the Bruins at Pauley. Oregon gets two losses after going undefeated the first four weeks of conference play. Utah beats Colorado, at Utah but still.

AZWildcat47 has the best week at 8-2 and improves two places. Zonafan23 takes the lone #1 spot as trojanfan12 falls back, on the same week USC shocks UCLA no less. And Camhand and I fall the farthest after sharing a worst 5-5 week.

The results after week five:

1. Zonafan23 (=) 38-16 (7-3)

2. trojanfan12 (-1) 37-17 (6-4)

2. catsroll8479 (+1) 37-17 (7-3) 

4. AZWildcat47 (+2) 36-18 (8-2)

5. Vitamike (=) 35-19 (6-4)

5. uacatfan (+1) 35-19 (7-3)

7. AZfaninMO (-3) 34-20 (5-5)

7. JarrettFan (+2) 34-20 (7-3)

9. camhand (-3) 33-21 (5-5)

9. bonadrag (=) 33-21 (6-4)

11. naterb (+1) 32-22 (6-4)
 
And unfortunately our good friend NE2WA didn't put his picks in and dropped to twelvth.

12. NE2WA (-3) 27-27 ()


And again, don't be too shy to check my math.

Sun 2/10

10. California at Arizona

11. Colorado at Oregon State

12. Washington at USC

1. Arizona - The Cardinal should be chasing Arizona all game long.
2. Oregon State - And the battle of the bottom-dwellers goes to the home team. Though don't be surprised to see Robinson coach his team out of another win.
3. UCLA - This should be a great match up of guard play. I have to go with the more-rested Bruins. Washington had a rough home stretch against the Arizona schools and UCLA should have a fire lit under them after losing at home against their rivals.
4. Arizona State - Cal had to come from behind at home against Oregon State. Enough said.
5. Colorado - The Buffs are a lot tougher than their rough conference record would indicate. Winning in Eugene is tough, but the Ducks are floundering without their point guard.
6. USC - I know I said I couldn't see me picking them again - but a tough loss @ASU and a rivalry win @UCLA has USC earning a pick... against WSU.
7. Arizona State - ASU is the third best team in the conference, and I'm sorry but there is a big drop from four to six.
8. Oregon - The Ducks finally get back on track. Only after losing the conference lead and against an ugly Utah team.
9. UCLA - WSU @ Pauley Pavillion? Yeah that's a loss.
10. Arizona - Cal probably has this game circled. Crabbe is a beast and Cobbs is a stud, and they'll give Arizona a handful especially if Lyons can't keep infront. Beyond that, Cal will struggle.
11. Colorado - The Buffalo's are going to push themselves into the top half of the conference with a sweep of the Oregon schools - setting up a rematch against the Wildcats - in Colorado.
12. Washington - Okay, so USC earned one pick. Not two.

Pretty home-team heavy this week, which I don't like all that much. But the problem was that when I analyzed these games, I found myself wanting to pick against Colorado AND Washington on Sunday as well. Colorado has been such a disappointment and USC has been playing teams tough since K.O. got KO'ed. Maybe Colorado pulls it together this weekend, though.

Wed 2/6

Arizona

Oregon State

Thur 2/7

UCLA

California

Oregon

USC

Sat 2/9

Arizona State

Oregon

UCLA

Sun 2/10

Arizona

Colorado

Washington

Hmmm... OK so it's 'Zona at home in both of these. It's not like either S or CAL is ASU...
On the other hand, ASU is ASU so they only get one game. No offense... intended that is, not meaning they can't score.
Hard as it feels to bet against USC right now, WA just seems more likely... Maybe that's why I only went 5-5 last week...
CO has disappointed recently. So of course I'll be wrong about them at OR...
OSU ... sorry just no love right now. On the other hand, the first game is hosting UT...
UCLA... sheesh... I don't care if they win or lose. I just wish they'd do it according to some pattern so I could pick it.
WSU ... are they playing? Oh yeah. Well, I guess the LA schools are just too... hmmm, better?
S... no home game = no wins
CAL... I dunno. They limped by OSU and won against OR. I figure they lose at ASU, but I've wrong so much I'll go with 'em.

My picks in bold!!

11. Colorado at Oregon State

12. Washington at USC

Wed 2/6

1. Stanford at Arizona - This should an easy win for the Cats, as the Trees have struggled on the road.

2. Utah at Oregon State - The Beavers get their second in conference win of the season.

Thur 2/7

3. Washington at UCLA - The two game losing steak ends Thursday night, besides I wont pick against my Bruins however after last weeks loss to the Trojans, anybody can beat this team.

4. California at Arizona State - The Devils are a pretty good team at home however the Bears just may give em enough to take it, not sure that happens so I'll pick the home team here.

5. Colorado at Oregon - Until these Ducks lose at home I wont pick against them at Matthew Knight Arena

6. Washington State at USC- Talk about the little engine that could, they have been so close in too many contests, they finaly got past my Bruins, in OT.  They take that momentum and win another vs the Cougs.

Sat 2/9

7. Stanford at Arizona State - Stanford is pretty good at home. On the road not so much. 

8. Utah at Oregon - How would Chicky baby say it.....    Slaaaaaaaam DUNK!!!!!!

9. Washington State at UCLA - No reason to think the Cougs can get a win in Pauley, right Trojans...

Sun 2/10

10. California at Arizona - Can the Bears win?  Sure.  Will they?  Probably not.

11. Colorado at Oregon State - Actualy switched my pick here.  I may come up short but I think it's a good shot. 

12. Washington at USC - Yeah I didn't think I would be picking the Trojans at all this year but after all those close games and last weeks upset of the crosstown rival, I give em a split this week, and in this one they come up short.

Really picked a great week to lay an egg on my picks. Pitiful, but at least Arizona won.

Yep that's a tough start to the week there Zonafan, at least your boys didn't disappoint.

5. Colorado - The Buffs are a lot tougher than their rough conference record would indicate. Winning in Eugene is tough, but the Ducks are floundering without their point guard.

Great call naterb! 

We all knew the Ducks were on that two game skid and this Buffaloe team was better than it's confrence record but for me that was only the Buffaloes team that plays at home, not the one that plays on the road... I mean they just lost to Utah, how could they beat Oregon...

Again naterb, nice lone pick!  That's the way you pick a game up on the field!

I almost didn't pull the trigger on Colorado... but I just couldn't get it out of my head that Colorado was going to pull it off.

What is this?
