Oregon Ducks continue ascension in USA TODAY Coaches Poll

Three of the top six teams in the USA TODAY Coache poll lost on Saturday and the Ducks are the benefactors.

It took a few weeks, but there was finally some chaos in the top of the USA TODAY Coaches poll.

No. 3 Tennessee, No. 4 Clemson and No. 5 Alabama all lost. The big winner because of the upsets was the Pac-12. Oregon is now the No. 6 team in the country and USC also moved up to No. 7 in the nation.

As expected, Georgia and Ohio State maintained their spots at 1 and 2, but it was TCU that made the biggest leap up three spots at No. 4. Michigan is ranked third.

In the Pac-12, UCLA is back in the Top 10 and Utah actually moved down a spot to No. 13 despite defeating Arizona 45-20.
