Oregon’s dismantling of conference opponent Arizona turned heads among the Fansided Top 25 voters, and as a result Chip Kelly’s team moves to No. 2. The Ducks leaped past LSU, which struggled to a 12-10 defensive grinder against an Auburn bunch with only one win.

LSU barely held off Florida State for No. 3, the Seminoles making moves after their impressive win over Clemson. The Tigers slide in the Fansided Top 25, but not substantially.

Newcomers to the poll are Oregon State, Rutgers and Baylor. Boise State returns to the poll for the first time since the preseason.
