Oregon Moves Up in Rankings to No. 15

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is moving up in the rankings, reaching No. 15 in this week's poll.

The team was the preseason Pac-12 favorite when it started the year at No. 5.

But then it stumbled to a 2-2 start as it waited for AP preseason All-American Dillon Brooks to return from offseason foot surgery.

Now, the Ducks have won 11 straight, including handing then-No. 2 UCLA its first loss last week followed by a win against then-No. 22 Southern California.

Oregon (13-2, 2-0) jumped from No. 21 to No. 15 in Monday's poll.

The Ducks visit Washington on Wednesday.
