Oregon continues to jump up the US LBM Coaches poll; USC out
Oregon football has had different rankings where the US LBM, Associated Press and the College Football Playoffs are concerned, but things are finally beginning to align.
The Ducks moved up a spot after their 63-19 victory over Cal to No. 6, the same ranking as the AP the CFP. The big news, although not surprising, is that USC has dropped out of the poll for the first time this season. It was unfathomable at the beginning of the season that the Trojans would be unranked as they head to Eugene this weekend.
The Beavers made a big move after their road win at Colorado and Utah seems to have corrected itself thanks to Arizona State coming to town.
Speaking of the desert, Arizona’s rise this season continues as the Wildcats are ranked for the first time this season with their 27-10 win over previously ranked UCLA.
Here is the entire US LBM Coaches poll.
