The UCLA Bruins moved up two spots to No. 15 in the SB Nation BlogPoll for Week 12 after their telling 38-28 victory against USC last weekend. The loss sent Lane Kiffin's Trojans into a spiral in the eyes of the voters.

USC sits six spots out of the BlogPoll top 25, just ahead of fellow Pac-12 members Arizona and Washington. The Trojans received seven total votes from the 71 voters and was ranked as high as No. 19.

Meanwhile, the Bruins received 10.23 points per blog and had two voters place them in the top 10.

Elsewhere in the Pac-12, Oregon fell two spots to No. 3 following the Ducks' loss to the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday. Stanford moved up four spots to the No. 10 position with the victory, and Oregon State dropped a single place to No. 17 in the overall standings.

Notre Dame moved to No. 1 and the Alabama Crimson Tide likewise jumped Oregon:
