Oregon remains on the outside looking in when it comes to the AP Top 25 Poll. Though Thursday night’s win at Arizona State gave the Ducks back-to-back victories for the first time this season, they didn’t receive any votes in the top 25.
Stanford dropped one position after its narrow 30-28 defeat against Washington State and sits at No. 9. No. 13 Utah’s rank didn’t change after beating Oregon State 27-12. UCLA jumped two spots from last week, coming back to beat Colorado 35-31, and now ranks No. 22.
For the second straight week, the order of the top five held steady.
No. 1 Ohio State received 39 of the 61 first-place votes, followed by No. 2 Baylor, No. 3 Clemson, No. 4 LSU and No. 5 TCU.
The SEC Conference has the most teams in the top 25 with six, while the Big 12 has four.
