Oregon Ducks women's basketball is ranked for the first time since 2003, while Oregon State has dropped out of the Associated Press poll for the first time in more than two seasons.

The Ducks (7-1), who were the first team receiving votes in last week's poll, moved in at No. 25 after throttling Portland 81-41 Friday night at Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon will next play at Clemson Monday night, before traveling to Ole Miss for a Wednesday-night contest.

"It's nice to be back in the top-25 because it means we are having success this season," Oregon coach Kelly Graves said in a release. "But the reality is we don't focus on the polls. It's a very long season and we continue to focus on improving each game. If we continue to do that, the rankings will take care of themselves."

OSU, which was ranked 24th last week and is the first team receiving votes this week, fell out despite rolling Southern Utah 77-38 Saturday night at Gill Coliseum. It's the first time since the the 2013-14 postseason poll that the Beavers (6-1) are not ranked by the AP voters. The Beavers host UC Davis Wednesday, before traveling to Las Vegas for the Play4Kay Shootout.

Five other Pac-12 teams are ranked: No. 9 UCLA, No. 10 Stanford, No. 11 Washington, No. 15 Colorado and No. 23 Arizona State. California and USC are also receiving votes.
