A late rally on the road evidently doesn’t earn you a whole lot, according to the latest US LBM Coaches poll.
Despite playing a true road game and outscoring the home team 20-3 in the fourth quarter and winning 38-30, the Oregon Ducks football team stayed put at No. 13 in the second week of the poll.
It was another banner week for the Pac-12 with USC moving up a spot to No. 5 and Washington’s easy win over Tulsa kept the Huskies at No. 8.
Utah needed a last-minute touchdown to defeat Baylor and the Utes stayed at No. 12, following by Oregon and Oregon State, which moved up a spot to No. 17 after its easy home win over UC-Davis.
Colorado jumped four spots to No. 21 as it continues to prove that it’s not a fluke.

The Ducks most likely won’t make a big jump in the poll next week either as Oregon is expected to beat Hawaii fairly easily. Unless there are a number of upsets next week, the Ducks shouldn’t move up much until they host Colorado Sept. 23 in what will be the Buffaloes first real test of the season.
