Roll down the window, put down the top;
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby;
Don't let the music stop;
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more.
Leading off
Yes, that would be "I Love LA." The Bruins and the Trojans were headliners this weekend for two very different reasons.
The Bruins lost their All-America candidate quarterback, Brett Hundley, to an elbow injury. But became the feel-good story of the weekend with Jerry Neuheisel leading a come-from-behind charge in the win over Texas.
The Trojans, however, stumbled on the road against Boston College for their first loss of the season.
Here are some reactions to those games:

USC
Gary Klein talks about USC's psychological letdown against BC. Ironically, Klein also wrote a story the day before asking Steve Sarkisian if he was worried about a letdown.

Rank and file
As a result of USC's loss, the Trojans tumbled out of the top 10 in the AP poll and their "stock is down," per USA Today. Meanwhile, on the strength of its blowout win over Wyoming, the Ducks picked up another first-place vote in the AP poll and are locked into that No. 2 spot. Talking with a couple of voters on Sunday, they told the Pac-12 blog that USC's saving grace -- for now -- was that they still have a road win over an AP top 15 team (Stanford) and that their loss to BC came on the road. That was enough to keep them in the top 20. But another showing like the one they had Saturday will boot them out of the rankings.
Here's where things stand for the Pac-12 teams, with the AP rank first and the coaches poll second:
Oregon 2-3
UCLA 12-10
Arizona State 15-13
Stanford 16-15
USC 17-21
