EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon dropped from No. 11 all the way out of the Associated Press Top 25 rankings following its season-opening 49-3 loss to Georgia. The Bulldogs moved up one spot from No. 2 to No. 3.
The Ducks were one of two teams that disappeared from the rankings after the first week of games. Cincinnati, ranked 23rd in the preseason rankings, was the other team to drop out.
