Stanford moved up 4 positions in the SB Nation Blog Poll this week, breaking into the top 10 with their 17-14 overtime upset over Oregon. And while that and Kansas St.'s loss at Baylor opened up the top spot for Notre Dame, the Ducks dropped only 2 spots, to #3, while the Wildcats dropped to #5.
Despite posting a 48 point win over California, Oregon St. was dropped a spot, to #17, as UCLA moved past the Beavers, up to #15 with their win over USC. Apparently head coach Mike Riley should have poured in on in the downpour, and not settled for a 62-14 win.
