Oregon remained No. 2. Colorado vaulted over Nebraska to No. 3.

The ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll, released Sunday, gives both team hope of advancing to the Rose Bowl -- though, ironically, the Buffs have a better chance than the Ducks.

And Nebraska isn't out of it, either.

Tennessee made certain Saturday night that it isn't going to the title game, losing to LSU in the SEC championship.

Oregon moved up one spot to second and Colorado jumped two spots to third in the latest coaches' poll, while the Cornhuskers remained in fourth, just barely behind the Buffaloes.

Miami (11-0), which was idle this weekend and already is assured of playing for the national championship in the Rose Bowl on January 3, remained first in the poll. Miami received all 60 first-place votes and leads the way with 1,500 points.

In the Associated Press poll, the top five was exactly the same as it was in the coaches' poll, with Miami on top followed by Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska and Florida.

Tennessee (10-2) had a chance to stay second in the polls, but a 31-20 loss to Louisiana State in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Saturday night dropped the Volunteers all the way to eighth.

Brigham Young (12-1), the only other ranked team in action this weekend, fell nine spots to 17th after a 72-45 loss to Hawaii.

Oregon (10-1), which suffered its only loss to Stanford, took the vacated spot, jumping to second with 1,398 points. Colorado (10-2) is third with 1,337 points while the Cornhuskers are just three points behind the Buffaloes in fourth.

Nebraska (11-1) ended its regular season on Thanksgiving weekend with a humiliating 62-36 loss at Colorado, which defeated Texas, 39-37, in last week's Big 12 Conference title game.

The top two teams in the final BCS poll, released later on Sunday, will meet in the Rose Bowl on January 3.

Florida (9-2), which lost out on its chance to play in the Rose Bowl with last week's loss to Tennessee, is fifth in this week's poll and is followed by Maryland (10-1), Illinois (10-1), Tennessee, Texas (10-2) and Oklahoma (10-2).

Stanford (9-2) is 11th and is followed by LSU (9-3), Washington State (9-2), South Carolina (8-3) and Michigan (8-3).

Virginia Tech (8-3) is 16th and is followed by BYU, Syracuse (9-3) Georgia (8-3) and Washington (8-3). Fresno State (11-2), Louisville (10-2), Ohio State (7-4), Florida State (7-4) and Marshall (10-2) complete the poll.

The final BCS standings will be released today at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC).
