Holy cow! All top 5 teams lose!

Has there ever been such chaos at the top?

All five of the top teams lost this weekend. Cal is now 0-4 against the LA schools.

UCLA and USC lead the hyper-competitive Pac-12, with two losses each. Washington, Cal and Stanford each have 4 losses. Hang on for the final four weeks.

Minnesota remains the 2011 enigma ... losing to middling teams, and knocking off the big girls. They'd be a tough draw in the postseason.

Still too tough to judge Hawaii and Northern Iowa ... dominate records against comparatively weak competition.

Will UCLA be #1 this week?
