Top-5 Teams ASU, UCLA & Louisville Upset … The depth of the Pacific-10 Conference rose to the surface again on Friday night, as Arizona State and UCLA – the top teams in the CB360 Composite National Rankings (CNR) – were upset for the second straight week. The top-ranked Sun Devils fell victim to a late rally by Washington State (6-5) while the #2 Bruins also lost in the Northwest, as Greg Peavey’s 2-hitter led #11 Oregon State to the 4-1 victory.  (front-page photo courtesy of Oregon State)
