This week's BlogPoll is out, and, like the other national rankings, the Pac-12 is cleaning up - five teams, now, are ranked in the poll, with Oregon coming it at the highest at number two.
Oregon State, a program that a year ago was toiling at the bottom of the conference, is now ranked 13th, while Utah's opponent tomorrow, USC, is 14th.
So, definitely an up year for the conference. Hopefully this time next week, though, USC has dropped significantly ... if you know what I mean.
