The California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal split their road trips up to Oregon, leaving them both at 3-1 in the conference. Stanford struggled with Oregon before rallying for an incredible four overtime victory in Corvallis. Cal couldn't stop Oregon State on Thursday night but rebounded with a nice road win in Eugene.
Both Cal and Stanford remain perched behind Colorado, who remain the only team undefeated in conference play after an impressive sweep of the Washington schools. Colorado will make their trek to the Bay Area this week, where they'll try and defend their hold on the top spot against both teams.

UCLA rebounded nicely from the Bay Area sweep to go 2-0 in their homestand against the Arizona schools. USC didn't rebound at all in falling to 0-4. Washington looked unimpressive trekking up to the Rocky Mountains in their split of Colorado/Utah. Arizona probably has the best shot at making a run, but their loss to UCLA dropped them out of a potential 3-0 start.
