Oregon No. 7 After USC Win, Cal Back In AP Top 25

EUGENE, Ore. (CBS 5 / AP) ― After that embarrassing season-opening loss to Boise State on national television, Oregon has climbed its way back into the BCS conversation.

That remains the Ducks' only loss after they moved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the Pac-10 with a decisive 47-20 victory over Southern California on Halloween night.

USC dropped to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the conference. The loss loosens the Trojans' grip on the Pac-10, with an eighth-straight conference title and BCS berth slipping away.

Oregon jumped three spots in the AP poll to No. 7 on Sunday. The Trojans fell from fourth to No. 12.

Oregon quarterback Jermiah Masoli passed for 222 yards and a touchdown, and also ran for 164 yards and a score in the win. Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 183 yards and another TD.

No. 23 California is back in the rankings after consecutive lopsided losses to Oregon and USC dropped the Golden Bears out Oct. 4.
