NCAA Football Rankings, Week 9: Stanford moves up four spots to 19th in Coaches poll

The Stanford Cardinal moved up to 19th in the Coaches Poll following a 21-3 win over the Cal Golden Bears on Saturday.

Texas A&M's loss to the LSU Tigers on Saturday gave Stanford the room to move up four spots in the polls. They received 401 votes and sit just a shade behind Boise State who received 407 votes. After that, there is quite a gap - Texas Tech sits at No. 17 with 571 votes.

The Cardinal are the lowest of the four ranked Pac-12 teams. The Oregon Ducks stayed second in the polls following their 43-21 win over Arizona State on Thursday.

The USC Trojans moved up one spot to number eight following a 50-6 thrashing of the Colorado Buffalos.

The Oregon State Beavers moved up to ninth in the nation and remained undefeated with a 6-0 win over Utah as the school enjoys its best start in the Oregon State's 105-year history.

Arizona State dropped from the rankings but still received 21 votes. UCLA rounds out Pac-12 representation, barely squeaking into the poll with one vote.
