Oregon moves into the No. 1 position in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, one of the components of the BCS standings that will be released later Sunday. The Ducks received 44 of 59 first-place votes and were picked second on all the others after improving to 10-0 with a win at California.

Kansas State moved into the No. 2 spot in the coaches poll and figures to be well positioned for a top-two BCS ranking thanks to its standing in the computer formulas. The Wildcats, also 10-0, received 14 of the remaining 15 No. 1 votes and were voted second on all but two of the remaining 45 ballots.

Notre Dame claimed the last No.1 vote and checks in at No.3, but the Fighting Irish probably would be on the outside of the top two unless more upsets occur over the final weeks. Still, it is the first time Notre Dame got a No. 1 vote since Septemberf 2006, and the Irish are no lower than No. 5 on any ballot.

The SEC is well represented throughout the rest of the top 10. Georgia moved up to No. 4 after officially securing its spot in the conference title game by blanking Auburn. The Crimson Tide slid to No. 5, their lowest ranking since the end of the 2010 season, but they're still likely to meet the Bulldogs in Atlanta.

I don't like falling behind UGA, but we should play them, so it's cool.

Huskers, I understand your quote...Huskers are 5-6 loss team since they've been mired in mediocrity for the past couple of decades, but what is the significance of your icon? Yes, I understand the blonde boy is gay (male symbol, rainbow, open closet door), but please provide me context.

meow!!!

I don't have a single thing to say about polls anymore.

My blood pressure isn't worth it and you can't argue with insanity.

The part I'm not getting is how NE is ranked ahead of UCLA when they have same record but UCLA whipped NE

Not sure whipped is the word you're looking for. UCLA won but Nebraska was playing typical Newbraska football by making inexperienced mistakes for the entire game and not actually settling down in the 2nd half. If Newbraska played like Nebraska for about 1 quarter, we win that game. Most of us want a rematch with UCLA...

36-30 is not whipped

That being said, I've been asking the same question for a couple weeks now. They both have 2 losses. If UCLA had 3 losses I could see it.

I'd give UCLA the head-to-head.

I like silly superlatives. I mean if the SEC can say Oregon was crushed by Auburn when losing by 3 on a last second field goal a 6 point loss needs to be really devastating in description.
