UCLA (9-3 in the Pac-12) is only one game in the loss column behind Arizona (10-2), but the Wildcats beat the Bruins so they have a two-game lead with six games left. It’s still a close race for the Pac-12 regular-season title and No. 1 seed in the conference tournament after the Wildcats looked as if they could run away with the race with an 8-0 start.
With three weekends left in the Pac-12 season, the Bruins have the easiest road in terms of the records of conference opponents (32-42). Colorado, with faint hopes at 8-5, has the toughest remaining schedule facing conference opponents with a 40-21 record.
Arizona and ASU (8-4) each have only two home games and four road games remaining against conference foes who are 38-36.
Cal (8-4) and Stanford (7-5) have the most home games left with four, but the records of their remaining opponents is 42-32.
