Auburn still No. 2 in the polls following bye week

Auburn didn't play Saturday, but it didn't take a hit in the polls Sunday. The Tigers remained No. 2 behind Oregon in the Associated Press, USA Today coaches' and Harris Interactive polls.

All three polls have the same top five: Oregon, Auburn, Boise State, TCU and Wisconsin.

The Tigers' first-place votes went from six to four in the coaches' poll. They are 61 points behind Oregon for the top spot and 47 points ahead of Boise State at No. 2.

Auburn gained a first-place vote in the AP poll, bringing its total up to 13. It trails Oregon by 37 points after being behind by 42 points last week.

The Harris poll, which along with the coaches' poll is part of the Bowl Championships Series formula, comes out later today. The BCS rankings will be released tonight.

Here's a glance at the coaches' poll:
1. Oregon (48),10-0, 1,459 points, LW: 1
