After its 62-20 loss to Utah Saturday, Oregon dropped out of the AP Top 25 Poll for the first times since September 2009. In addition, the Ducks’ absence from the poll Sunday marks the end of the second longest active streak ranked in the Top 25.
Oregon had been ranked 98 consecutive weeks, behind Alabama, who has now been ranked in the Top 25 120 straight weeks.
