The Broncos were one of the hottest teams in the country before their loss to the Fresno State Bulldogs. The team has a must-win game against the San Diego State Aztecs on Feb. 28.

The Ducks do not have any big wins this season, which is why they need to defeat the Utah Utes on Feb. 22 to bolster their resume for the NCAA tournament.

The Hawkeyes have some great wins this season, but a loss against the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday will hurt their NCAA tournament chances. The team does not face a ranked opponent for the remainder of the season, which is why the Hawkeyes need to win every remaining game.

1. Stanford Cardinal (16-9)

The Cardinal have had some terrific wins out of conference, but the team has suffered six conference losses. A loss to the Colorado Buffalos on Sunday really affects the team's chances of making the NCAA tournament.
