Better late than never ...

1. Oregon (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12; last week: 2) -- Ducks can further assert their dominance if they beat Arizona big today.

3. UCLA (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12; last week: 4) -- Tough test against game Oregon State team this week.

4. Arizona (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12; last week: 5) -- Will Rich Rodriguez's offense operate as smoothly against Pac-12 teams?

5. Southern California (2-1, 0-1 Pac-12; last week: 1) -- Trojans may have lost shot at national title already. Might have to fight UCLA for Pac-12 South title.

8. California (1-2, 0-0 Pac-12; last week: 9) -- Bears move up a spot despite losing at Ohio State. It was their most promising performance of the season.

12. Colorado (0-3, 0-0 Pac-12; last week: 12) -- The Buffaloes are really bad.
