The Washingtons, Zonas and LaLas start conference play today, so the non-conference season is basically over.
Here are the RPIs and Massey Numbers heading into the conference season:
RPI
4 Stanford (0.6916)
5 Oregon St. (0.6883)
10 UCLA (0.6641)
22 Oregon (0.6294)
48 Colorado (0.5938)
56 Arizona St. (0.5795)
58 Arizona (0.5784)
59 California (0.5766)
88 Washington St. (0.5531)
92 USC (0.5481)
112 Washington (0.5356)
193 Utah (0.4832)
Arizona is 11-0, but has the softest schedule so their RPI is about the same as Cal's at 7-3.
Utah is 7-4 with a very soft schedule as well.
The Pac-12s RPIs will rise relative to other conferences because we'll play more games against teams with better records.
Massey (Using the PWR #s, a better measure than RPI of how good the teams really are)
3 Oregon (78.00)
6 Oregon St. (73.13)
8 Stanford (70.64)
9 UCLA (70.50)
13 Arizona (65.49)
28 Arizona St. (61.95)

64 Washington St. (54.63)
65 USC (54.61)
67 Washington (54.53)
68 Utah (53.98)
If these numbers are accurate, any of these teams could make the tournament.
