<p>It’s only a matter of time before the Boise State Broncos jump into third place in the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2010/11/21/1827988/bcs-rankings-week-13-standings" target="new"><span class="caps">BCS</span> rankings</a>. After an easy win over Fresno State this week, the Broncos closed the gap on No. 3 <span class="caps">TCU</span>, sitting just .0135 points behind the Horned Frogs. A Friday night matchup against No. 18 Nevada awaits <span class="caps">BSU</span> and a win should vault them past <span class="caps">TCU</span>.</p>
<p>Oregon and Auburn remained at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in this week's <span class="caps">BCS</span> rankings. Both teams were on a bye this week and return to action with matchups against top-25 teams next week. Auburn battles the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/alabama-crimson-tide">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> in a pivotal Iron Bowl matchup while Oregon hosts the No. 21 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arizona-wildcats">Arizona Wildcats</a>.</p>
<p>Joining Oregon in the rankings were Arizona, at No. 21, and the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/stanford-cardinal">Stanford Cardinal</a>, at No. 6 again this week. The Cardinal are just over four hundredths of a point behind No. 5 <span class="caps">LSU</span>. With two games to go, the top three teams in the Pac-10 continue to make a strong showing in the <span class="caps">BCS</span> rankings.</p>
<p>Only a slip-up against either Oregon State or Arizona will keep the Ducks out of the <span class="caps">BCS</span> national championship game this year. The Ducks have all but assured themselves of a Pac-10 title, but at this point Oregon has its sights set on a bigger prize. Stanford is in a prime position to snag a second <span class="caps">BCS</span> bowl bid, should they win out. A traditional Rose Bowl pairing, pitting a Pac-10 team against a Big Ten team, would be the ideal situation for not only the Cardinal, but the Pac-10 as a whole.</p>

<p>The <span class="caps">USA</span> Today Coaches Poll fell in line with the AP Poll again this week, ranking the Ducks No. 1 for the sixth week in a row. Oregon, idle this week, still sits in the driver’s seat on the road to the <span class="caps">BCS</span> National Championship Game. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/auburn-tigers">Auburn Tigers</a>, also idle, remained at No. 2 with a 57-point cushion over Boise State. <span class="caps">TCU</span> and Wisconsin rounded out the top 5.</p>
<p>Oklahoma State and Michigan State each moved up one place after Nebraska fell out of the top 10 with a loss. The Cowboys and Spartans sit at No. 9 and No. 10 respectively, well behind No. 8 Stanford.</p>
<p>Three Pac-10 teams were in the top 25 yet again this week. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/stanford-cardinal">Stanford Cardinal</a> held onto the No. 8 spot, just four points behind No.7 Ohio State. The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/arizona-wildcats">Arizona Wildcats</a> moved up three spots to No. 20 this week, as well. No other Pac-10 teams received votes this week.</p>
<p>The <span class="caps">USA</span> Today Poll, one-third of the <span class="caps">BCS</span> rankings, gives us a pretty clear picture of how the <span class="caps">BCS</span> standings will play out this week. Barring a shocker, Oregon should remain at No. 1, with Auburn close on the Ducks’ heels at No. 2. The Ducks and Tigers control their own destiny in the race to the <span class="caps">BCS</span> National Championship Game.</p>

<p>Another week, another No. 1 ranking for the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oregon-ducks" class="sbn-auto-link">Oregon Ducks</a>. The Ducks topped the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/2010/11/21/1827969/college-football-rankings-week-13-ap-poll-oregon">AP Top 25</a> for the sixth straight week this week, staying at the top while on a bye. Oregon was followed by Auburn, Boise State, TCU and Wisconsin, who jumped the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/lsu-tigers" class="sbn-auto-link">LSU Tigers</a> in the rankings this week. The Badgers held a slim lead for the No. 5 spot, only two points up on LSU.</p>
<p>Nebraska fell the farthest this week with a loss to Texas A&M. In a field goal fest, the Huskers came up short, losing to TAMU, 9-6. With the loss, Nebraska fell seven spots to No. 16. Oklahoma State jumped into the top 10 with a dominating 48-14 win over Kansas.</p>
<p>Oregon was joined by two other Pac-10 teams this week after USC fell out of the rankings with a <a target="_blank" href="http://seattle.sbnation.com/washington-huskies/2010/11/20/1827182/college-football-scores-week-12-usc-trojans-oregon-state-beavers-recap">loss to the Oregon State Beavers yesterday</a>. Stanford stayed at No. 7 in the AP Poll with an <a target="_blank" href="http://seattle.sbnation.com/washington-huskies/2010/11/20/1826716/college-football-scores-week-12-pac-10-cal-stanford-usc-osu#college-football-scores-week-12-stanford-runs-over-cal-in-the-big">easy win over Cal in the Big Game</a>, 48-14. Arizona, also on a bye, moved up three spots to No. 20 this week. Oregon State also received one vote in the rankings.</p>
