Which Pac-12 teams winning benefits us most?

Colorado is hosting Stanford and Cal.
Cal is visiting Colorado and Utah.
Washington is visiting Washington State.
Arizona hosts USC and UCLA.
Oregon visits OSU.

Do we root for Washington to win the rest and Cal and Colorado to lose the rest (and probably root for Colorado when they face each other, assuming we beat Colorado at home)?

And it's probably best if Arizona losses as much as possible.

Someone help me out.

i think the best realistic plan would be for cal and washington to continue winning. we're down 2 with 3 to play to each, we're not likely going to catch either. washington continuing to win might also push them into the top 50, which would be great for us, as they're one of our top 2 wins to date.

i would think colorado losing the majority of their games would be benefitial, as that would clinch a top 4 seed for us. arizona is actually a quandry -- we're competing head on with them for a potential 3rd conference ncaa bid, but we also don't want them to completely tank because that win in tucson IS our best win of the season to date.

IF we can win out, i think arizona winning is okay, because we'd get the tiebreaker for 3rd place and a strong finish would likely get us in over them.

Cal beats Colorado.
Arizona losses all.
Washington does what it likes.
Oregon beats everyone.

Thats the ideal scenario going down the stretch, I think.
