This week's latest polls are out. You can read up on the national movements (for example, Michigan and Georgia going up, while Texas dropping entirely out of Top-25) here. For our interests Bruins have moved up 2 spots in both polls, rising up to no. 16 from no. 18 in the AP poll, while going up to no. 17 from no. 19 in the Coaches' poll.

Unfortunately poor Lane Kiffin dropped out of the top-25 rankings because his players couldn't execute a basic meat and potatoes game plan (give the man a break Trojans). We are all rooting for Lane to rally (maybe against Brian Kelly in their "real rivalry" game?). Anyway in the Pac-12 Oregon  and Stanford are in the top-5, while the Huskies are also representing from the Pacific Northwest.
