Colorado will not play Washington as a ranked team
There was plenty of movement in the Week Four Associated Press poll, but the Buffs barely budged. Colorado did garner the most votes to date, with 93, up from 66 votes last week. Colorado, though, only moved from No. 28 in the poll to No. 27.
Utah entered the AP poll at No. 23, up from No. 26 last week, while Oregon jumped from 30th to 24th.
The Pac-12 finished Week Four with five teams in the poll … USC at No. 5, down one from last week … Washington at No. 7, down one from last week … Washington State at No. 18, up three from last week … with Utah at No. 23 and Oregon at No. 24.
Dropped from the rankings were Stanford, which was at No. 19, and UCLA, which was ranked No. 25.
Behind Colorado in the poll were Cal, at No. 32, and Stanford, at No. 33 (here’s betting there is great joy in Berkeley that the Bears are ranked ahead of the Cardinal). UCLA, meanwhile, disappeared from the poll altogether.

CU up to No. 22 in ESPN Power Rankings
From ESPN … Here’s what we know three weeks into the 2017 season.
Alabama and Clemson, national championship dance partners the past two years, still own the spotlight. Oklahoma is right there, too, led by its break-dancing QB.
And that’s about it, folks.
Oklahoma State, Penn State and Washington have dominated weaklings. USC and Michigan have been tested and not lost but looked shaky at times. Florida State and Miami are talented teams with one-game résumés.
This week, it was tough to fill all 25 spots. Teams needed some combination of excellence, quality wins and, in some cases, no lopsided losses (bye-bye, Bayou Bengals). Vanderbilt and Memphis are ranked, while Tennessee is not. Can you hear those cowbells? Mississippi State debuts at No. 15.
After No. 13, the rankings get weird. But that’s to be expected in Week 3. We should learn much more in Week 4.
From the Pac-12 …
6. USC
9. Washington
16. Washington State
22. Colorado … It finally gets real for the Buffs. After one of the cushiest nonleague schedules in the FBS, Colorado now hosts Washington. QB Steven Montez (357 pass yards, 4 TDs) looked good Saturday
23. Oregon
