The AP and Coaches Polls were released late Sunday night with your Washington Huskies faring well in both.
In all, four Pac 12 teams showed up in the AP's Top 25 with Oregon (2) and Stanford (5) holding serve in their positions from a week ago. UCLA (16) and Washington (19) both moved up a few spots despite being idle thanks to some key losses by higher ranked teams, namely Texas and USC. The big gainers were Georgia, who scored their first win of the year (should a 1-1 team be in the top 10?), Miami and Michigan - all of whom scored W's over highly ranked opponents. The Coaches Poll came out very similar, with the Huskies staying put at #23.
Of note to Husky fans is the fact that Illinois, after thrashing a favored Cincinnati team on the road, is now in the "others receiving votes" territory of both polls. This sets up an interesting road test for the Huskies who, as of now, are giving 9.5 points on the road. Trap game? Discuss.
