For the first time in their history, the Oregon Ducks top the Associated Press media poll as the number one team in the country. The AP poll is not part of the formula for the Bowl Championship Series rankings. However, the USA Today/Coaches Poll, which the Ducks also top, is part of that formula. In the first BCS rankings of the season, which came out on Sunday, the Ducks are at #2, trailing only Oklahoma. Boise State is ranked third.
As for Oregon State, after the Beavers' heartbreaking double-overtime defeat at Washington Saturday night, they have fallen off the AP rankings (they were at #24 a week ago). Still, they managed to get a few votes and would be ranked #34.
