With three of the four undefeated teams idle, the top of the USA TODAY coaches' poll wasn't likely to change much. Nevertheless, Boise State was able to take advantage of its Friday-night spotlight to strengthen its position a bit.  BSU throttled Fresno State 51-0 on its home blue turf to move to 10-0. The third-ranked Broncos retained all five of their first-place votes and extended their lead over No. 4 TCU to 41 poll points, up from 11 a week ago. The Horned Frogs did retain their two No. 1 votes but have only one game remaining against 1-10 New Mexico, so they likely won't be able to gain ground in the BCS standings without help.  BCS STANDINGS: Will Boise State jump over TCU?  But help could come on what is shaping up to be an action-packed Friday. Oregon retained the top poll position with 48 first-place votes, two more than last week. Auburn stayed put at No. 2, though the Tigers lost two of the six firsts they had a week ago. All the top three teams face ranked opponents Friday. The Ducks host No. 20 Arizona, Auburn visits No. 11 Alabama and the Broncos travel to No. 19 Nevada.  The one-loss teams ranked fifth through eighth also maintained their positions as then-No. 9 Nebraska was the highest-ranked team to lose over the weekend.  The Cornhuskers fell six places to No. 15 following a 9-6 loss at Texas A&M, but the Aggies climbed only one place to No. 18 with the victory.  Other top-25 lost head-to-head showdowns with other ranked squads, but only two dropped out of the poll. Miami (Fla.) was knocked from the No. 21 position after losing at home to No. 14 Virginia Tech, a result that locked up the ACC Coastal Division title for the Hokies. Also, then-No. 25 Northwestern lost its Wrigley Field battle with Illinois.  No. 21 Florida State and No. 23 North Carolina State returned to the poll following key road victories in ACC play. Iowa slipped four places to No. 24 after coming up a field goal short at home against No. 7 Ohio State, and Mississippi State stayed ranked after dropping an double-overtime heartbreaker to No. 12 Arkansas. The Bulldogs edged Northern Illinois by a single point for the last top-25 slot.  To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor  .
