Oregon State climbs in latest AP Top 25 after dispatching UCLA
Oregon State is up to No. 12 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, released on Sunday.
In Week 7, the Beavers (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12) handled UCLA 36-24 at home behind three touchdowns from the passing game and a pick-six from the defense. Oregon State picked off UCLA’s Dante Moore three times and never really felt threatened in the second half.
As a result, the Beavers moved up three spots in the poll to sit as the third-highest-ranked team in the league.
Other Pac-12 teams in the ranking include No. 5 Washington, No. 9 Oregon, No. 14 Utah, No. 18 USC, and No. 25 UCLA.
The Beavs head into the bye week in Week 8. A matchup with Arizona waits on the other side.
