Following Saturday’s upset loss to rival Washington, the Oregon Ducks’ stock has taken a major hit.

The Ducks came into the weekend as the No. 6 team in the nation but dropped to No. 13 in Sunday’s updated USA Today Coaches Poll.

It’s the lowest Oregon has been in the poll since Week 5, when it sat at No. 12.

The Ducks received 828 points, and are now just the third-highest-ranked team in the Pac-12.

Elsewhere in the conference, USC (No. 6), Utah (No. 10), Washington (No. 15), and UCLA (No. 16) all cracked the top 25.

In the AP Poll, Oregon dropped to No. 12. That marked a six-spot freefall for the Ducks.

Meanwhile, USC (No. 7), Utah (No. 10), Washington (No. 15), UCLA (No. 16), and Oregon State (No. 25) all landed in the top 25.

The Bruins, who Oregon topped in Week 8, found themselves on the wrong end of an upset loss to Arizona on Saturday.

The Ducks will aim to bounce back against the Utes when the two teams square off next week in Eugene.

“We didn’t finish this game the way we wanted but we’ve been a connected team all year and that doesn’t change because of this result,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said following Saturday’s loss. “My love is not based on the result of this game. I love that locker room, I’m proud of that locker room. We didn’t play the way we wanted to play and that really falls on me.”
