Two Pac-12 teams ranked in latest AP Top 25
Two Pac-12 teams ranked in latest AP Top 25
A win over the nation’s No. 12 team didn’t earn Cal a vote Monday morning in the AP poll.
No. 18 Arizona, which fell six spots after Saturday’s 74-73 loss to the Bears, and No. 23 Oregon were the Pac-12’s lone representatives in the Top 25.
USC crashed out of the rankings in the wake of losses at Oregon and Oregon State.
The Bears, who beat Arizona State last Thursday before upending the Wildcats, didn’t receive a vote in the AP poll for the third straight week.
The Trojans (27 votes) checked in at No. 30 overall, while Colorado earned a single vote.
ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology, also released Monday morning, continued to paint a portrait of a deep Pac-12.
Eight teams from the conference were included in Lunardi’s field of 68:
No. 4 seed Oregon, No. 5 seed Arizona, No. 5 seed USC, No. 8 seed Utah, No. 9 seed Cal, No. 10 seed Colorado, No. 11 seed UCLA and No. 12 seed Washington.
