Texas’s Comeback, Oregon’s Nightmare, Michigan’s Rock Fight & Our New AP Top 25 After Week 2 | College Football

Week 2 delivered the first truly chaotic Saturday of the 2026 college football season. Texas erased a fourth-quarter deficit to beat Ohio State, Oklahoma State stunned Oregon in Stillwater, and Michigan leaned on its defense to win a rock fight against Oklahoma. We break down what Texas proved in its comeback, what went wrong for Oregon, and what Michigan’s win says about both the Wolverines and Sooners moving forward.

Then we widen the lens on the rest of the weekend with our Spano Meter, checking our excitement and concern levels for BYU, Texas A&M, Arizona State, Alabama, Tennessee, Duke, Illinois, Penn State, Washington, Mississippi State and more. Plus, another loaded batch of Reverbs, our Dude Alerts, and a live run through the AP Top 25 ballot after a week that forced us to rethink plenty of what we thought we knew.
