Oregon has 21 total first-place votes, Boise State has nine and Nebraska, TCU and Oklahoma each have two.
Ohio State moved up to No. 1 in both polls released today, the Buckeyes taking the top spot for the first time since they lost to LSU in the BCS National Championship game at the end of the 2007 season.
In the coaches polls, which is one-third of the BCS rankings that will be released for the first time next weekend, the Buckeyes earned 49 of 59 first-place votes. Oregon (6), Nebraska (2), Boise State (1) and TCU (1) also had support to be No. 1 .
Overall, Oregon is No. 2, 67 points behind Ohio State. Boise State is No. 3, Nebraska No. 4 and TCU No. 5. Former No. 1 Alabama dropped to No. 8 after losing to South Carolina. South Carolina is ranked No. 12.
In the AP poll, the Buckeyes received 34 of 60 first-place votes, with four other teams getting votes for the top spot: Oregon (15), Boise State (8), Oklahoma (2) and TCU (1).
Oregon is ranked No. 2, 26 points behind Ohio State, with Boise State at No. 3, TCU at No. 4 and Nebraska at No. 5.
Alabama also fell to No. 8, while South Carolina moved up from No. 19 to No. 10.
In the Big Ten, Michigan State moved up to No. 13 from No. 17 after beating Michigan. The Wolverines fell out of the top 25, dropping from No. 18 to No. 26 after their loss.
Wisconsin, which hosts Ohio State next Saturday, moved up from No. 20 to No. 18.
After losing to Florida State, two-loss Miami also fell out of the top 25 team, which means that 6-0 Ohio State does not have a win over a team that is currently ranked.
On my AP ballot, Oregon was No. 1, followed by Ohio State at No. 2, then Boise State, TCU and Oklahoma. I dropped Alabama to No. 10, one spot behind South Carolina.
