Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The USC Trojans moved to No. 21 in the Amway Coaches Poll following their 56-28 throttling of Colorado yesterday afternoon.

The Oregon Ducks moved up to No. 7 after beating up on rival Washington and following the losses by Baylor and Notre Dame. Mississippi State held onto the top spot despite Florida State's win over the Fighting Irish. Alabama jumped up from No. 7 to No. 4 after pasting Texas A&M.

In the Pac-12, Arizona State gained four spots, moving to No. 14, after defeating Stanford, who dropped out of the top 25 in both polls for the first time in 72 weeks.

The Arizona Wildcats got leapfrogged by rival ASU, but still gained two spots to No. 15 while Utah's double overtime victory pushed them up to No. 19.
