USC fell after losing to Stanford, but only to #16, while the Cardinal climbed into the top 10, at #8, in this week's SB Nation Blog Poll. It made Stanford the biggest mover, up 14 slots.

The SEC dual juggernaut of Alabama and LSU both rolled to wins, and remain ranked 1-2 as a result.

Oregon climbed to #3, and both UCLA and Arizona rose as well, with the Bruins, this week's opponent and host for Oregon St., up 2 spots to #18, while the 'Cats, who will be in the valley this week to play the Ducks, and the Beavers' opponent next week, climbed 3 spots to #20.
