SALT LAKE CITY- Despite the injuries and having to rework the lineups every week, Utah continues to be peaking at the right time moving up three spots to No. 10 after a strong performance against Stanford. While fellow ranked-conference mates fell short of taking care of business on Saturday, the Utes kept rolling and looking like one of the most well-rounded teams in the Pac-12.

Utah’s move up the AP Top 25 sets up an interesting showdown next weekend at Autzen Stadium against Oregon who couldn’t finish against Washington. The big game will kick-off at 8:30 pm MT/7:30 pm PT on ESPN.
Utah And The Pac-12 In The AP Top 25
It was upset city in the Pac-12 Saturday night with Oregon falling to Washington and UCLA not getting it done against Arizona. The Ducks fell to No. 12 and UCLA fell to No. 16 in the latest AP Top 25 after their losses. USC moved up to No. 7 after taking care of business against Colorado on Friday night and Washington was rewarded for up-ending Oregon moving up nine spots to No. 15.
Oregon State crept their way back into the Top 25 after falling out last week, but a solid win against Cal put them at No. 25.
Next week, the Pac-12 will have two big games that will most likely determine the two teams heading to Las Vegas for the Conference Championship Game. As mentioned before, Utah will be travelling to Eugene to take on Oregon, and UCLA will be hosting USC.
Additionally, the Pac-12 currently has seven teams who are bowl eligible.
POLL ALERT: No. 1 Georgia leads unchanged top five; Oregon and UCLA slip out of top 10 after Pac-12 upsets.
