PHOENIX (AP) — The Pac-12 may be going through a geographical shift in its pecking order.
Oregon and Southern California, once the power centers of the conference, have dropped to the bottom. Washington and Colorado, typically near the cellar, have shifted toward the top.
It's still too early to know if this movement is permanent; there's nearly two months until the Pac-12 Championship game in Santa Clara.
Even if the changes aren't for good, it's sure made for an interesting season in the Pac-12 so far.
A look at how the divisions stand heading into this weekend's games:
NORTH DIVISION
Oregon and Stanford have dominated the division and, for that matter, the conference.
