### Oregon Ducks Soar to No. 1 in Latest College Football Rankings

The recent update in the college football rankings has seen a significant shift at the top, with Oregon claiming the No. 1 spot in the Coaches Poll for the first time in over a decade. This leap comes after a commanding Week 8 performance, solidifying their standing as the leading team in the nation.

The Ducks' ascension to the top spot follows a decisive 35-0 victory against Purdue on Friday night. This win was particularly impressive given their previous high-stakes victory over Ohio State and the logistical challenges of traveling with one less day to prepare. Such resilience and performance have earned them enough votes to leap past Texas, who fell from No. 1 to No. 6 after Saturday’s defeat by Georgia.

Georgia itself has seen a rise, moving up to No. 2 from the fourth position. Alongside these major movements, the top 10 saw further changes due to Tennessee's triumph over Alabama. The Volunteers jumped from No. 10 to No. 8, causing Alabama to plummet from No. 7 to No. 15 in the rankings.

Elsewhere in the top 25, Indiana made a notable climb, moving up five spots to No. 13 after an overwhelming 56-7 victory against Nebraska. This defeat pushed Nebraska, along with Michigan, out of the Coaches Poll top 25, making room for Navy and Vanderbilt to enter the rankings at No. 24 and No. 25, respectively.

As the rankings continue to evolve, fans and teams alike will be watching closely to see how the positions shift in the coming weeks.
