<p>With the AP Poll already out, the USAToday Coaches poll was released just minutes ago and Auburn takes home the #1 spot - of course - after their 22-19 win over Oregon in the BCS Championship Game last night. TCU was #2, but unlike the AP Poll that saw the Horned-Frogs get 3 first-place votes, only one coach saw fit to give TCU a top-nod. </p>
<p>Oregon was #3, Stanford #4 and Ohio State rounded out the Top-5.</p>
<p>Oklahoma finished the season at No. 6, followed by Boise State, which finished in the Top 10 for the third time in the last five seasons.</p>
<p>LSU and Wisconsin finished in a tie for eighth place, followed by Oklahoma State at No. 10.</p>
<p>Alabama, which crushed Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl, jumped seven spots from the final regular season poll and finished the season at No. 11.</p>
<p>Arkansas, Nevada, Michigan State and Virginia Tech rounded out the Top 15.</p>
