PAC-12 acquaintances Utah and Washington State also jumped up in the polls, #12 and #21 respectively, and USC was able to knock out Stanford while also snatching the last spot in the top 25. Washington dropped from #13 to #17 after their chaotic loss to California.
As far as the ATQ-only blog is concerned, we believe that the conglomerate got the top ten pretty close but should really have Auburn and Notre Dame trading spots and Utah sitting cozy at #10.
ATQers also believe that Oregon should be ranked #12, Washington #20, Washington State #21 and that no other PAC-12 school is worthy of a seat at the table.
