2012 College Football Rankings: Ducks fall, Beavers rise

The state of Oregon's undefeated college football squads slid in opposite directions in SB Nation's latest BlogPoll Top 25.

Oregon (7-0, 4-0 Pac-12) fell one spot to No.3 after their 43-21 win over the Arizona State Sun Devils on Thursday night. The Ducks, who were leapfrogged by the Florida Gators, received two first place votes and averaged 23 points per blog. The Gators received 16 first place votes and received 23.19 points per blog. The Ducks will play host to the scuffling Colorado Buffaloes (1-6, 1-3 Pac-12) on Saturday in Pac-12 play.

Oregon State (6-0, 4-0 Pac-12) is up one spot from the last week's poll to No. 7, receiving 18.15 points per blog. The Beavers knocked off Utah, 21-7, on Saturday and head to Washington in Week 8 to battle the Huskies (3-4, 1-3 Pac-12). Oregon State benefitted from former-No. 7 South Carolina's 44-11 loss to Florida on Saturday that shoved the Gamecocks down ten spots to No. 17 in this week's BlogPoll.
