The USC Trojans may have tumbled out of the top five thanks to the Stanford Cardinal, but are still holding strong in the latest SB Nation Blogpoll for week 4 of the college football season.

The Trojans moved up three spots this week, currently residing in the No. 13 spot in the country. The Alabama Crimson Tide remained the top seeded school, receiving 85 first place votes, followed by the No. 2 Oregon Ducks. Stanford and the Oregon State Beavers are the other Pac-12 schools cracking the top 25 this week, sitting at No. 8 and No. 19 respectfully.

The Oklahoma Sooners had the biggest fall in the Blogpoll this week, sliding down 11 spots to No. 17 in the nation. The Kansas State Wildcats moved up eight spots to No. 6, while the Rutgers Scarlet Knights moved up 10 spots to the No. 23 school.

UCLA didn't make the top 25, but still received votes this week.

The Trojans hit the road to face the Utah Utes this Saturday, while the Bruins head to Colorado to take on the Buffaloes.
