The Oregon Ducks remained atop the USA Today Coaches Poll for a second week in a row and then saw a number of changes in the rest of the rankings, much like the AP Poll. The 10-0 TCU Horned Frogs moved up to No. 3 and received two first-place votes after defeating the Utah Utes, 47-7, on Saturday.
The Utah Utes moved all the way down to No. 15 and are now 8-1 this season. The LSU Tigers jumped from No. 11 to No. 6, while two-loss Alabama checked in at No. 12. Three new teams checked in at the back of the top 25: Central Florida, Florida and Texas A&M.
The 7-2 San Diego State Aztecs also received the second most points among teams outside the top 25 with 44. The Mountain West conference is showing a strong hand late in the season, and if Air Force can win out the rest of the regular season and capture a bowl victory, the Falcons could re-enter the top 25.
