A 27-12 victory over Oregon State didn't move the needle for voters in either poll Sunday, keeping Utah at No. 13 in the AP Top 25 and No. 14 in the Amway Coaches Poll for the second straight week.

Stanford still ranks highest of the Pac-12 teams, coming in at No. 9 in the AP poll and No. 8 in the Coaches poll, while UCLA is ranked at No. 22 in both polls. The Bruins rose after a close 35-31 win over Colorado on Saturday.

The top seven of the AP poll remained unchanged with Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson, LSU, TCU, Michigan State and Alabama preceding Notre Dame, which moved up one spot to No. 8 after a 24-20 win over Temple.

The top four of the Coaches poll remained the same with Ohio State at the top followed by Baylor, TCU and LSU. Clemson jumped into the fifth spot ahead of Michigan State after a 56-41 win over NC State, despite the Spartans remaining undefeated.
