The Pac-12 has gone an incredible 28-0 to start the season, which is the most wins without a loss by a Division I conference to begin the year over the last 25 seasons, according to ESPN. Mississippi State and Illinois dropped out of the rankings. Ole Miss had the biggest fall in the poll this week, dropping from 12 to 23 after losing to Oklahoma. That gave the Pac-12 five teams in the top 10, the first time a conference has done that since the SEC accomplished in the final poll of the 1997 season. This is Southern Cal’s best ranking since the final poll of the 1994 season when the team was seventh. Stanford climbed to sixth, Virginia Tech is ninth and USC is 10th. That was the second-longest streak behind UConn’s 51-week run (2008-10). South Carolina had a run of 38 straight weeks at No. The Irish fell to 16 and Maryland to 20th.

The 114-76 win over the Terrapins was the Gamecocks biggest victory over a Top 25 opponent in school history. The Gamecocks opened the season by scoring more than 100 points in routs of then-No.
