Oregon Tops Both AP, USA Today College Football Rankings Oregon gave UCLA a 47-point beatdown on Thursday night and apparently voters didn't forget about them over the weekend as the Ducks grabbed the No. 1 spot for the second straight week in both college football polls.

The Ducks sit atop both the AP poll and the USA Today poll with a tidy 7-0 record. Their 60-13 win over UCLA on Thursday night was the third time they topped 60 points this season, and they average over 55 points per game, the best in the nation.

Boise State had the week off, but they were able to hold their No. 2 spot. They received first-place votes in both polls, but they're likely hearing Auburn creeping up behind them. The Tigers beat LSU on Saturday and were able to advance two spots in both polls up to No. 3, also receiving first-place votes.

Auburn and Oregon grabbed the top two spots in the BCS rankings which were announced Sunday night.
