The Sun Devils fell the most spots of any team in either poll. They dropped out of the AP Poll, after ranking at No. 15 last week. In the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll, ASU was ranked No. 24, 12 spots lower than its No. 12 ranking last week.
The Sun Devils fared slightly better in the Coaches Poll, receiving 148 votes, slotting them between No. 23 Oklahoma State's 216 and No. 25 TCU's 86.
After having faced UCLA last week, the Sun Devils now have three remaining opponents in the top 25 of both polls. The Pac-12 has four teams ranked in addition to ASU: Oregon (No. 2 AP/No. 4 Coaches), UCLA (8/12), Stanford (14/13) and USC (16/20). Washington and UA received votes in both polls, too. Notre Dame, which ASU plays at Sun Devil Stadium on Nov. 8, is ranked No. 9 in the AP Poll and No. 8 in the Coaches Poll.
