Another great week of Pac-10 basketball is behind us. And while it was a great week of basketball, (I'm particularly happy about the Arizona Wildcats' ability to maintain their level of play this week.), this week looks to be much more exciting. Pac-10 conference play is upon us. How will that Pac-10 leader-board change? Who will be exposed as over-rated? Will there be a surprise team to rise to the top of the conference?
Boy oh boy, this is going to be fun to watch.
-Your Arizona Desert Swarm Staff did a pretty good job this week. We're in a tie for first for this week, and we moved up into a tie for 3rd in the overall standings. Can we continue to improve?
-Week 5 Winner: There is a three way tie for first! It's 'Arizona Desert Swarm', 'House of Sparky', and 'UW Dawgpound' this week.
-Overall Pac-10 Pick 'Em Leader: 'UW Dawgpound' Will UW Dawgpound be able to stay on top next week?
-Fan Submission Winner: A Tie! 'johnnycougar' and 'Coug999' are your winners this week, going 12-1. Wow, a tie for first, and second place was only one wrong pick away. Let's hope this continues to be hotly contested.

NOTE: There was as issue with a ballot that was not counted. The issue has been corrected, and the winners and standings have been adjusted. We are in the process of implementing a new ballot submission format, which should prevent this issue from arising again.
