Some what ifs

So what if WSU beats UW tomorrow, ASU beats Cal, and UCLA beats UO? It would leave UW and UCLA tied at the top with a 13-5 record, ASU and Cal would be tied for 3rd at 11-7. UW and UCLA split this year, UW was 0-2 against Cal and 2-0 against ASU where UCLA was 2-0 against Cal and 0-2 against ASU. Cal and ASU would have split the season series and their overall against the top 2 teams would be the same. Who gets seeded where? I guess it would depend on the 5th place team and that could also end up a 3 way tie if USC beats OSU and Zona beats Stanford. In that group, SC would be 3-1 head to head, Zona 2-2 and WSU 1-3. So I guess USC wins that tie breaker for 5th. Then Arizona 6th and the Cougs 7th.

Would it then be the record of Cal ASU against Arizona? It appears that both are 2-0 against Arizona, so then USC? Well they are both 1-1 against USC so I guess it would then come down to the Cougs. So ASU is 0-2 and Cal is 2-0. So I guess Cal would be 3rd and ASU 4th. With Cal being 0-2 agianst UCLA but 2-0 against UW, UCLA would be 1st and UW 2nd. So the seedings would be as follows I guess.

1. UCLA 2. UW 3. CAL 4. ASU 5. USC 6. Arizona 7. WSU 8. OSU 9. Stanford 10. UO

Not sure that is all correct, but it would definitely make it interesting.

Well after more info from Grippi

It appears that in a 3 way tie between USC, Arizona, and WSU, USC would get the #5 due to the original tie breaker, but then Arizona and WSU would have their own seperate tie breaker for 6th. In the scenario of this thread, WSU wins the tie breaker and gets 6th. So win and we are 5th or 6th, lose and we are 7th or 8th.
