For at least one week, the Pac-12 can brag about its positioning in the AP Top 25 and Amway Coaches Poll.
Arizona State and California earned season debuts to hand the often-criticized conference six programs in the rankings.
One of the entrances came at the expense of USC, who was one of a handful of squads to tumble out after suffering a Week 3 defeat.
The Pac-12 is tied with the SEC for the most programs in the polls. The SEC is more top-heavy with five sides inside the Top 10.
