On two consecutive Saturdays, the bowl game hopes of the Arizona State Sun Devils have gone from bad to worse. After dropping out of the BCS Top 25 following a loss to UCLA, ASU lost all hope of re-entering the rankings after Saturday's surprising loss to the Washington State Cougars and their freshman quarterback Connor Halliday.
The Week 12 BCS Rankings are out, and only two Pac-12 teams remain among the Top 25. Following Saturday's showdown in Palo Alto, the Oregon Ducks have claimed the No. 4 spot previously held by Stanford, while the Cardinal slide down to No. 9. Although this is a huge blow to Stanford, there is still a chance that Oregon may find their way into the National Championship Game to represent the Pac-12.
Stanford remains in the mix as a candidate for the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, along with Boise State, Houston and Alabama.
Here is the full Top 25:
1. LSU
