The Oregon Ducks continue to climb in the eyes of voters.

After trouncing UCLA 45-30, the Ducks jumped two spots to #8 in the AP Top-25. UCLA, ranked #9 before the Oregon game, fell to #12 in the poll.

With USC and Utah at #10 and #14, respectively, the Pac-12 currently has four teams ranked inside the top-15.

Georgia, who handed Oregon their only loss with an opening-week 49-3 beating, continues to be the top-ranked team in the poll – beating out Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, and Clemson.

All four ranked Pac-12 teams are in action this week with an opportunity to maintain their ranking against an unranked opponent. In Saturday action, Oregon visits Cal (12:30pm FS1), USC is at Arizona (4pm Pac-12 Network), UCLA hosts Stanford (7:30pm (ESPN), and Utah is at Washington State in Thursday night action (7pm FS1).
