BCS Poll 2013: Top 25 Standings for Week 11 Release

The newest BCS poll has been released, and there aren't many changes from seven days ago. 

Florida State continued to flip-flop with Oregon, retaking the No. 2 spot after crushing previously undefeated Miami in convincing fashion, 41-14, while the Ducks stayed in Eugene on a bye.

Let's take a look at the updated rankings, courtesy of ESPN:

Five of the Top 10 teams, including No. 1 Alabama, had the week off, leading to minimal movement in the rankings. 

That means things are still quite crowded at the top.

With the Crimson Tide sitting comfortably at the top—though they face a tough matchup against No. 13 LSU this week—Oregon and Florida State seem intent on battling for that second national championship slot all season long. Should both undefeated teams win out, however, it's going to be difficult for the Seminoles to hold off Mark Helfrich's squad.

FSU has just Wake Forest, Syracuse, Idaho and Florida left on the schedule before the ACC championship, while Oregon still has tilts with No. 5 Stanford and a solid Oregon State squad before the Pac-12 title game. 

There's more opportunity there for the Ducks to strengthen their resume.

That being said, winning out isn't a certainty. Oregon's biggest test of the season comes Thursday when it travels to Palo Alto, where the physical Cardinal will look to counter the speed of the Ducks for the second year in a row. 

Meanwhile, No. 4 Ohio State continues to sit within striking distance, waiting for a loss in front of it. The Buckeyes destroyed Purdue on the road, 56-0, and are now just three wins—at Illinois, versus Indiana and at Michigan—away from a spot in the Big Ten championship.

With Miami's loss, No. 6 Baylor is now the last undefeated squad in the Top 10, and with three Top 25 matchups (two at home) in the next three weeks, the explosive Bears have a chance to make some considerable noise at the top of the standings.

The first of those, against No. 10 Oklahoma, comes Thursday, marking the second Top 10 battle on Nov. 7.

So while this week may have been slow, you can rest in the fact that next week's elite action is coming early.
