The USA Today Coaches poll varies some at the top, as the Oklahoma Sooners retain their No. 1 spot and LSU is tied for the No. 2 spot with the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Boise St. Broncos get jumped, even though they routed Tulsa, by the Stanford Cardinal, who were on a bye week. They switch the fourth and fifth spots. The TCU Horned Frogs are at No. 20, which is the same in the AP poll, and Air Force reemerges in the coaches poll by receiving one vote.
The Arizona St. Sun Devils and the Washington Huskies are both in the others receiving vote categories this week.
