Three Pac-12 teams are ranked in the top 25! Let's take a look at the profile of each team.
Arizona Wildcats (9th in AP, 10th in Coaches): Arizona has now won their last six games after going .500 to start the Pac-12 season, and the Wildcats are looking like they have a good shot to capture another conference crown. More importantly, they're edging closer to higher tournament seeding. A win against Utah this week would really help.
Oregon Ducks (13th overall): Oregon course corrected by winning the home stanza of the Civil War after losing two in a row against Cal and Stanford.
Utah Utes (22nd in AP, 23rd in Coaches): Utah is scorching hot. The Utes have won four in a row and aren't leaving Salt Lake City the rest of the year. They'll likely finish the season in the top 25.
Two more Pac-12 teams are getting votes, including Cal and USC.
