A pair of Kickoff Week nonconference losses knocked both Los Angeles schools out of this week's AP Top 25 poll, leaving only three ranked Pac-12 teams entering Week 2.
UCLA (previously No. 16) and USC (previously No. 20) lost in particularly disappointing fashion on Saturday -- the Bruins in overtime at Texas A&M and the Trojans in a humiliation at the hands of Alabama -- dropping both from the rankings.
No. 7 Stanford, No. 8 Washington and No. 24 Oregon all made climbs after season-opening wins.
The Cardinal handled Kansas State 26-13 and benefited from Oklahoma and LSU losses ahead of them.
