The unpredictability of the Pac-10

Nothing makes sense in the Pac-10 this season.

USC was supposed to be terrible. They're not, and may actually be the best team, although it seems that a postseason ban has brought this team back down to earth.

Washington and Cal were supposed to be the two best teams in the league, but Washington is sitting at just 1-2 in the league and Cal has lost five games already this year. Its difficult to see either team as an at-large candidate today.

Stanford and Oregon, both expected to be at the bottom of the league, are a combined 4-1 in league play while UCLA and Arizona, two of the best programs in all of college hoops, are both under .500 this season.

Safe to say, the Pac-10 has been a bit unpredictable this season.

Which is why I'm going to make a prediction.

Oregon State plays at Oregon tonight. Oregon State is coming off of a 51 points loss at home to Seattle. (Yes, you read that right. I promise.) Oregon just knocked off Washington at home.

Logic says go with the Ducks.

The Pac-10 has defied all logic this season.

Which is why I'm predicting the Beavers to pick up their first Pac-10 win of the season tonight.
