Pac-10 Tiebreakers: What Oregon Ducks, Stanford Cardinal, Oregon State Beavers, and Arizona Wildcats Need to Win the Pac-10
Worried about tiebreakers? Wondering what you should be rooting for in the next few weeks? I’ve done my best to spell out every possible outcome; including plenty of extremely complicated ones involving a highly improbable Washington State upset over Oregon State.
Short Answer:
Oregon and Arizona both control their own destiny, and if they win out, they are in.
Oregon State only needs a single Arizona loss to get in if they beat Oregon.
Stanford needs a perfect storm, but it isn’t impossible. They need a win over Cal, Arizona to beat Oregon, Oregon to beat Oregon State, and Arizona to lose a game (to ASU or USC).
Long Answer:
For OREGON to win the Pac-10 Title:
With win over Arizona, win over Oregon State…
- (Pac-10 clinched)
With win over Arizona, loss to Oregon State…
- (Oregon State loss to Washington State) AND (Stanford loss to Cal)
With loss to Arizona, win over Oregon State…
- (Arizona loss to ASU OR USC) AND (Stanford loss to Cal)
With loss to Arizona, loss to Oregon State…
- (Eliminated)
For STANFORD to win the Pac-10 Title:
With win over Cal…
- (Oregon loss to Arizona) AND (Arizona loss to ASU OR USC) AND (Oregon State loss to Washington State OR Oregon)
*In this scenario, Stanford wins outright or ends up in a tie (7-2) with Oregon, and they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.
OR
- (Arizona loss to Oregon) AND (Oregon State loss to Washington State) AND (Oregon loss to Oregon State)
*In this scenario, Stanford ends up in a tie (7-2) with Oregon, and they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker.
With loss to Cal…
- (Eliminated)
For OREGON STATE to win the Pac-10 Title:
With win over Washington State, win over Oregon…
- (Arizona loss to Oregon OR ASU OR USC)
*In this scenario, Oregon State wins outright or ends up in a tie (7-2) with Oregon and/or Stanford, and they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over both.
With loss to Washington State, win over Oregon…
- (Oregon loss to Arizona) AND (Stanford loss to Cal) AND (Arizona loss to ASU AND USC)
*In this scenario, Oregon State ends up in a tie (6-3) with Oregon, Stanford, and potentially Cal and USC. If it is a four-way tie with Oregon, Stanford, and Cal, Oregon State holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over all three. If it is a five-way tie, Oregon State holds the best record among the group of five. If it is a four-way tie among Oregon, Stanford, and USC, USC and Oregon are eliminated for having two losses in the group of four, and Oregon State holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Stanford.
With win over Washington State, loss to Oregon…
- (Eliminated)
With loss to Washington State, loss to Oregon…
- (Eliminated)
For ARIZONA to win the Pac-10 Title:
With win over Oregon, win over Arizona State, win over USC…
- (Pac-10 clinched)
With loss to Arizona State, win over Oregon, win over USC…
- (Oregon loss to Oregon State) AND (Oregon State loss to Washington State) AND (Stanford loss to Cal)
*In this scenario, Arizona ends in a tie (6-3) with Oregon, Stanford, Oregon State, and potentially Cal. If it is a four-way tie with Oregon, Stanford, and Oregon State, Arizona holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over all three. If it is a five-way tie, Arizona and Oregon State have the best records among the group at 3-1, and Arizona holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Oregon State.
With loss to USC, win over Arizona State, win over Oregon…
- (Oregon loss to Oregon State) AND (Oregon State loss to Washington State) AND (Stanford loss to Cal)
*Same as above.
With loss to Oregon, win over Arizona State, win over USC…
- (Eliminated)
With two or three losses…
- (Eliminated)
That about sums it up. Easy enough, right?

So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
I don’t usually reply to posts but I’ll in this case. WoW
