The Bowl Championship Series top 10 did not change between weeks for the first time in five years.
The standings, which combine human rankings with a series of computer formulas, decide which two teams will play in the national championship game.
The Oregon Ducks remain in the No. 1 spot despite struggling to defeat California, 15-13, Saturday night. Auburn held onto the No. 2 ranking after a 49-31 win against Georgia to clinch the Southeastern Conference Western Division.
Athough no teams in the top 10 changed places, the miniscule gap between No. 3 TCU and No. 4 Boise State continues to cause controversy.
TCU leads Boise State by just three hundredths of a point.
The Horned Frogs are behind the Broncos in both the USA Today Coaches and Associated Press polls, falling from No. 3 to No. 4, after they were pushed to the brink in a 40-35 win against San Diego State.
No. 5 LSU held onto its position after its 51-0 win against Louisiana-Monroe. Following the Tigers are Stanford, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio State and Oklahoma State.
Six teams in the BCS top 25 hail from the SEC — Auburn, LSU, No. 11 Alabama, No. 13 Arkansas, No. 17 South Carolina and No. 21 Mississippi State.
