As October starts to wind down, the weather starts to get colder, and post season aspirations start to take form. For the Block U team, there are some constants, such as Oregon, being the consensus No. 1 team this week. USC, Utah, ASU and Arizona all are fighting for the next four spots, then Stanford, UCLA and Washington for the next three. Lastly, OSU, Cal, WSU and Colorado have basically settled into their positions on our ballots. Last week was basically the only week that went according to plan, with USC, Oregon and ASU all winning at home, although ASU was an underdog to Stanford.
Here are our individual ballots:

Overall, the big winners from this past week are Arizona, even after a bye, and UCLA and ASU, both of whom got big wins to keep in the Pac-12 South race. The big losers were Stanford and Washington. Stanford went to Tempe and couldn't get anything going offensively, and Washington got shellacked by Oregon, again. The bottom four remain the same, and the top two remain the same. Utah is still floating in the upper third of the conference, but a win this Saturday against USC would vault them up the rankings more I'd expect.
