Gina Mizell (sports writer formerly at the Oregonian) shared the link below on her twitter feed last year, and I don't think I've seen it mentioned on this forum. Follow the link, ignore the title at the top, which says "NCAA Men's Basketball", and scroll down and you can find week-by-week not only the AP rankings for Women's basketball, but how each of the 32 pollsters voted by week.
AP Voting by Pollster
The surprising thing for me is that there are two pollsters (Robert Cessna and Seth Soffian) who don't have the Beavers in their top 25 this week. It kinda looks like they may be weighing RPI more heavily than the rest of the pollsters, but they are definitely outliers in the voting. Everyone else has OSU between 12 and 23. The ranges for Oregon and UCLA are fairly tight, but Stanford is also all over the place (between 10 and 22)
