Jan 5, 2021
• Once again the Conference of Champions enters the week with four teams in the AP top 25, three of which ranked in the top 10. STANFORD is ranked #1 for the fifth-straight week after a top-10 road win, and is followed by #7 ARIZONA, #9 UCLA and #11 OREGON. ARIZONA STATE, WASHINGTON STATE and OREGON STATE are all receiving votes.
• The Pac-12 will boast an AP Top 25 matchup in Conference play for the sixth time this season as top-ranked STANFORD takes on #11 OREGON on Friday at 11:30 a.m. PT / 12:30 p.m. MT on Pac-12 Network. WASHINGTON STATE, which has won three straight, hosts #7 ARIZONA on Sunday at 11 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. MT on the Pac-12 Now app.
• STANFORD holds the top spot in the latest NET Rankings, followed by #5 OREGON, #9 UCLA, #17 ARIZONA, #39 WASHINGTON STATE, #59 USC, #71 ARIZONA STATE, #76 WASHINGTON and #79 COLORADO for nine teams inside the top 80.
• The Pac-12 boasted a member on NCAA.com’s Starting Five, which highlights the top players in the country every week, in three of the past five weeks. #1 STANFORD’s Haley Jones represented the Conference of Champions in the week 2 selection, and three were featured in week 3 (#1 Stanford’s Fran Belibi, #11 OREGON’s Taylor Mikesell and UTAH’s Brynna Maxwell). USC’s Jordan Sanders was highlighted in week five. A week after #7 ARIZONA was named the NCAA’s Team of the Week, top-ranked Stanford earned the honor after topping the Wildcats for its second-straight victory over a top-10 opponent and in its sixth-consecutive true road game, which is a program record.
