Pac-10 Power Rankings: This is Not a Laughing Matter, Mr. Braun

Lot of top teams losing around these parts this past week, but all the losses maintain a status quo. Washington is playing well at home, but is yet to look better than a rec-league team on the road. UCLA has a tough loss in West Virginia, but handling business in conference is more important now.

As always, if you think I'm smoking the same stuff as those Gonzaga players, call me out in the comments.

1. UCLA - Win over USC does much more good than road loss to West Virginia does bad.
2. Washington State - Sweep of Bay Area schools just solidifies the Cougs as the Pac-10's second best team.
3. Oregon - Ducks, despite recent losses, still athletic as anyone and can run plenty of teams out of the gym. If only Sub-Zero Brooks can relocate his shot.
4. Arizona - Just when you think the Wildcats are done...
5. USC - Two close losses against UCLA doesn't score brownie points.
6. Washington - If only they can bottle up their play at home and take it on the road.
7. Stanford - It's just about that time of the year for Tree to start hitting the bottle again.
8. Cal - Six straight losses won't have Ben Braun clapping anytime soon.
9. Oregon State - Sweep of ASU feels like making Final Four for the Beavers.
10. Arizona State - At least the weather's good.
