Oregon State continues to climb up the rankings, reaching fourth in both the AP and Coaches Polls this week. They’re also ranked first in the nation in RPI, and are the only team who’s has beaten the current number 2 in the rankings, Missouri State.
It’ll be hard to climb much further in the rankings unless Stanford, UConn or Oregon slip up. They don’t have another marquee game against a ranked opponent until Pac-12 play begins. For now, they’ve just got to sit tight and win all of the games they’re supposed to win. First up: Utah State.
