Key Points:
- Week 2 of the 2026 college football season saw significant upsets with top-15 teams Oregon and Oklahoma losing to unranked opponents, leading to their drop in the AP Top-25 Poll.
- Indiana, currently ranked No. 4, is undefeated with dominant wins but is considered overrated compared to LSU and Ole Miss, who have more impressive early-season victories.
- USC, ranked No. 12, has a 3-0 start under Lincoln Riley but has had unimpressive wins; star QB Jayden Maiava leads the nation in passing yards and touchdowns, though the defense needs improvement.
- Texas Tech, ranked No. 13, narrowly avoided an upset and has struggled to dominate offensively, casting doubt on their College Football Playoff prospects despite upcoming games against ranked Houston.
- Iowa, ranked No. 18, showed offensive struggles in a close win over Iowa State, relying heavily on defense, with critical upcoming games against Michigan and Ohio State set to test the team’s true potential.
