*Colorado and Utah joined the Pac-10 prior to the 2011-12 season, and the conference is now known as the Pac-12.

**Due to violations stemming from the improper benefits scandal that occurred at USC, which affected the school's basketball and football programs, the Trojans were forced to vacate 21 regular season victories and 1 NCAA tournament loss from the 2007-08 season. While these games were included in USC's totals in the above categories, I have taken these violations into account in the process of ranking the Trojans. However, even if the violations had not occurred, I would have ranked USC seventh in the conference power rankings.

***Due to violations involving Lute Olson, Arizona was forced to vacate 19 regular season victories and 1 NCAA tournament loss from the 2007-08 season. While these games were included in Arizona's totals in the above categories, I have taken these violations into account in the process or ranking the Wildcats. However, even if the violations had not occurred, I still would have ranked Arizona behind UCLA in the conference power rankings.

****The Winning Percentages category includes all games played - in conference, non-conference, and postseason.

*****Upcoming: all-decade teams for each Pac-10 program
