FanHouse Fab 40: Oregon Solidifies Its Status as Nation's Top Duck

FanHouse national college football writer Brett McMurphy shares his weekly Associated Press Top 25 ballot along with his next 15 best teams for FanHouse's Fab 40.

There's no question, Oregon solidified its status as the No. 1 team on my Associated Press ballot after its impressive 53-32 victory at USC Saturday.

In fact, the top five teams on my AP ballot -- Oregon, Boise State, TCU, Auburn and Utah all remained the same as last week. I can guarantee that won't be the case next week as TCU visits Utah on Saturday.

With losses by unbeatens Michigan State and Missouri, a plethora of one-loss teams all moved closer to the top of my AP ballot -- No. 6 Wisconsin, No. 7 Alabama, No. 8 Nebraska, No. 9 Arizona, No. 10 Ohio State, No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 12 Stanford, No. 13 LSU and No. 14 Iowa.

Besides TCU visiting Utah, Alabama visits LSU in a game which will eliminate the loser from any national title aspirations.

Baylor, UCF and Hawaii made my Top 25 ballot for the first time this season as USC, Florida State and Miami all dropped out after losses last weekend.

Here is my AP ballot for this week. Last week's ranking in parentheses.
