There wasn't any movement at the top of the rankings, but after TCU struggled on Saturday, there's a new No. 3 team in the country.

The Boise State Broncos, fresh off a win over Idaho on Friday night, moved up to No. 3 leap-frogging the Horned Frogs who struggled with San Diego State en route to a 40-35 win.

And while Oregon got their toughest test of the season thus far, they were still able to hold strong atop both sets of rankings, although they lost first-place votes in each. The Ducks were able to sneak by Cal, 15-13.

Auburn remains at No. 2 in both polls, after a big win at home over Georgia that secured the Tigers a place in the SEC championship game.

Below are the AP and USA Today polls with first-place votes in parentheses.
