Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3420616, member: 6927"] We're now at the halfway point of the conference schedule, with each team having played 9 games. On paper, Arizona is the team with the lightest schedule among the top 6 teams, with only 3 remaining games against the upper half of the conference. The road trip to Oregon could be tough, but they'll have a golden opportunity at home against Stanford to notch another top-10 win. Stanford, meanwhile, is the only upper-half team that still has to play 5 games vs. the upper half -- including the treacherous road trip to Arizona, which no one (Oregon, Oregon St, UCLA) has survived unscathed. As [USER=9403]@TheFarmFan[/USER] points out, a lot could depend on Stanford's health. The fact that they were able to hang on and win in Corvallis even after Jones exited the game is one of the more remarkable feats of the season. But it's hard to imagine these injury issues not catching up to them at some point.
