NCAA Football Rankings, Week 12: Oregon jumps to No. 1

There is a new team atop the USA Today Coaches Poll. The Oregon Ducks are the nation's new No. 1, following Alabama's loss and Oregon's 59-17 win over the California Golden Bears. With Alabama out of the picture, it would seem to dismiss concerns that Oregon could be left out of the BCS National Championship Game should they finish undefeated.

The Ducks are joined by four other Pac-12 teams in the poll, starting with the 8-2 Stanford Cardinal, who check in at No. 13 following their win over Oregon St. on Saturday. UCLA is No. 16, immediately followed by Oregon St. USC is the top three-loss team at No. 21.
