What happened to Oklahoma State? Is USF the team to watch? Week 2 takeaways

"The ACC runs deeper than Miami and Clemson (welcome back, Florida State), and the Big Ten is stronger than Ohio State, Penn State and Oregon (that's you, Illinois and Indiana ... maybe USC). Meanwhile, in the SEC, Austin Peay stuffed Georgia on the 1-yard line, LSU had its hands full against that pesky Louisiana Tech defense, Florida lost at home to South Florida, and South Carolina needed two punt returns for touchdowns to overcome a sleepy start against South Carolina State."

"Based on the latest predictions, if the ranking were today, the ACC would have two top-four teams with first-round byes (predicted ACC champ No. 5 Miami and No. 10 Florida State). The SEC hasn't won the national title in each of the past two seasons, and it might be even tougher to win it this year with more contenders in the mix -- at least early. -- Heather Dinich"

"There's no shame in losing to Oregon in Eugene, just ask the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, who lost there last year. But Oklahoma State being noncompetitive against any opponent on any field is embarrassing for coach Mike Gundy and a proud program boasting so much success over the past two decades. The Ducks smoked the Pokes 69-3 -- Oklahoma State's most-lopsided loss since 1907, the same year Oklahoma gained statehood. It felt even worse than that final score indicated."

Week 2 produced signals that the ACC and Big Ten have multiple teams capable of contending for the College Football Playoff. The ACC is deeper than just Miami and Clemson, and the Big Ten shows strength beyond traditional powers. The SEC displayed vulnerability as Austin Peay stopped Georgia on the 1-yard line, Louisiana Tech challenged LSU, Florida lost at home to South Florida, and South Carolina relied on two punt-return touchdowns to escape South Carolina State. Current projections would give the ACC two top-four teams with first-round byes, and early returns suggest a more competitive national landscape. Oklahoma State endured a 69-3 loss to Oregon, its worst deficit since 1907.
