Colorado moves up one spot in Associated Press poll; UCLA in at No. 25
USC moved up two spots in the latest poll, breaking into the top four, while Washington moved up one spot, to No. 6. Stanford, which lost to USC, fell from 14th to 19th, while Washington State, which needed a 21-point comeback in the fourth quarter to defeat Boise State (in three overtimes), fell one spot to No. 21.
