The Associated Press released the final top 25 college football poll for the 2013 season, with the Oregon Ducks finishing No. 9.
Oregon ended the year with an 11-2 record under first-year head coach Mark Helfrich, the fourth season in a row in which they have reached 11 wins. They defeated Texas 30-7 in the Alamo Bowl for their final win of the year.
Oregon was joined in the top 25 by five other Pac-12 teams, No. 11 Stanford, No. 16 UCLA, No. 19 USC, No. 21 Arizona State and No. 25 Washington.
Undefeated Florida State was unsurprisingly the unanimous No. 1 after winning the BCS Championship Game by beating Auburn 34-31. The victory ended the Southeastern Conference’s record win streak of seven national championships.
Auburn finished the season second, followed by Michigan State, South Carolina and Missouri.
The SEC led all conferences with seven teams in the Top 25.
The top 10 is as follows, with records and point totals:
1. Florida State, 14-0, 1,500
2. Auburn, 12-2, 1,428
3. Michigan State, 13-1, 1,385
4. South Carolina, 11-2, 1,247
5. Missouri, 12-2, 1,236
6. Oklahoma, 11-2, 1,205
7. Alabama, 11-2, 1,114
8. Clemson, 11-2, 1,078
