PULLMAN, Wash. — Sooner or later, the logjam in the Pac-12 standings will begin to loosen up.
The Colorado Buffaloes want to make sure they are at the front of the pack, not the rear, when that happens.
Heading into this week's games, the eight teams currently occupying the second through ninth positions in the standings are separated by just one game, with four of the teams sporting five conference losses and the remaining four with six.
It means every game down the stretch could be the difference maker in the chase for a top-four finish and first-round Pac-12 tournament bye.
