Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the Arizona Wildcats lost a game, and went to overtime against a not-very-good Santa Clara team. And the California Golden Bears fell apart against San Diego State, then followed that up with a loss to Richmond.
With that, last week's top-two teams both fell, and there's a new team on top. We use golf scoring, with first place receiving one point, second place two points, and so on. With six voters this week, the results are intriguing:
| Ranking - change in () | Team | Points |
| 1 (+2) | Oregon Ducks | 7 |
| 2 (-1) | Arizona Wildcats | 12 |
| 3 (+1) | Utah Utes | 20 |
| 4 (+2) | Colorado Buffaloes | 29 |
| 5 (+3) | USC Trojans | 33 |
| 6 (-4) | California Golden Bears | 34 |
| 7 (+3) | Washington State Cougars | 46 |
| 8 (-3) | Oregon State Beavers | 47 |
| 9 (0) | UCLA Bruins | 54 |
| 10 (-3) | Washington Huskies | 55 |
| 11 (0) | Arizona State Sun Devils | 60 |
| 12 (-1) | Stanford Cardinal | 71 |
So we now have a few pairs of teams that are very close in our points system.
