Looks like it'll almost certainly be a re-match with Colorado in the first game, and if they get by them it'll likely be Arizona in the semis.

So if fucla beats WSU, it looks like the Coogs are the12th seed. This game only determines (as far as the conference tourney and standings) if U$C or WSU gets 11th and 12th

So fortunate for the Bears to get a first round bye .... I also think given the strength of our conference this year, the "fourth" place (technically a multiple team tie for third) shouldn't miss the NCAA tournament but it is ultimately up to the committee

GO BEARS!!!!!

Unfortunately the committee won't look at conference tournament tiebreakers in determining "place" in the conference standings.

Ironically Oregon is going to be seen as the "3rd place" team, when sorted by standings, even though they get the lowest seed of the tied teams. But they have the best overall record, highest RPI and, now the best wins too, as they are the only team to beat Zona and UCLA.

And Cal is the most likely to be left out, despite earning the 4th seed.

How do they decide oregon is 3rd and we are 7th???what formula do they use? We beat oregon, Colorado,split with Stanford yet pac 12 site shows us as 7th in final standings

We have the worst overall record.

What you have to understand is that the tiebreakers are ONLY for determining tournament seeds. The conference (or anybody) does not use them to determine conference standings.

Simple sort of the overall record column.
