Four Pac-12 teams ranked in AP poll

A week after half the Pac-12 was ranked in the Associated Press poll, that total is down to four.

After poor showings on Saturday, USC and Utah both dropped from the rankings, but the remaining four -- Oregon, UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State -- are all at No. 13 or higher, which gives the Pac-12 the most teams ranked 13th or better.

Oregon has settled in at No. 3 behind top-ranked Florida State and Alabama, while Mississippi State and Baylor round out the top five. The Ducks received two first-place votes. UCLA moved up two spots to No. 9 after its 38-20 win against USC, while Arizona jumped three places to No. 12, a spot ahead of rival Arizona State.

UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State all remain in contention to win the Pac-12 South, which will be decided on Friday. If the Bruins beat Stanford at the Rose Bowl, they will be the division champions and play Oregon in the Pac-12 title game Dec. 5 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. However, if the Bruins lose, the winner of the Territorial Cup between Arizona and ASU will take the division.

Both games are set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
