The Oregon Ducks didn't play on Saturday, but they still fly high above the college football landscape.

In fact, so do the top eight teams from last week.

The Ducks top the Week 13 USA Today coaches poll, and should be atop both of the college football polls this week, thanks to an oddly static week in the college football world.

This is Oregon’s fifth straight week, and the top eight of the poll is the same as last week’s, thanks partly to bye weeks for Auburn and TCU and predicted wins by teams like LSU, Wisconsin, and Stanford.

Nebraska is the only team to fall out of the top 10. The Huskers drop from ninth to 15th after a loss to Texas A&M, which rises from 19th to 18th after the win.

Two conference dominate the poll, as they have all season: five SEC teams appear in the top 17 of the poll, and of the top 18 teams, an astonishing 10 are from either the SEC or Big 12.

The Week 13 AP Poll will be released later this afternoon.

Full poll is as follows:

  1. Oregon
  2. Auburn
  3. Boise State
  4. TCU
  5. Wisconsin
  6. LSU
  7. Ohio State
  8. Stanford
  9. Oklahoma State
  10. Michigan State
  11. Alabama
  12. Arkansas
