The Trojans were ranked as high as No. 13 on one ballot, with the most common slot being No. 17. USC was ranked by 68 of the 76 voters this week.

One voter placed the Bruins at No. 16, but the mode for ballots in which UCLA appeared was No. 25. The Bruins were slotted by less than half of the ballots, showing up on just 34.

Four other Pac-12 teams are in the poll, with Oregon topping the conference at No. 3. The Ducks were jumped by Kansas State despite a 70-14 win over Colorado. Oregon State dropped to No. 13 after losing at Washington, while Stanford rises four spots to No. 15 after a narrow victory over Washington State.
