College Football Playoff predictions - Who's most likely to make the playoff field - ESPN

"Noah Whittington scores a 59-yard touchdown for the Ducks, which is quickly followed by a 65-yard pass by Dante Moore to Dakorien Moore that gives Oregon the early lead over Oklahoma State. (0:45) We're still months from the College Football Playoff, but we've already seen some big wins by the favorites to reach the 12-team tournament and some crucial losses by teams in last year's CFP."

"The teams atop the rankings -- the Ohio State Buckeyes, Penn State Nittany Lions, Oregon Ducks and Miami Hurricanes -- all won easily on Saturday. Of last year's participants, the Boise State Broncos, Texas Longhorns, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Clemson Tigers lost in Week 1. Week 2 saw the SMU Mustangs, who lost to the Baylor Bears, and Arizona State Sun Devils, who lost to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, join them in Week 2."

"The Oklahoma Sooners got a win in Week 2's biggest game. The Sooners' 24-13 win over the Michigan Wolverines will bolster their credential should they successfully navigate their SEC schedule. While they still have a huge meeting with Miami next week before conference play, the South Florida Bulls further helped their case to be the Group of 5's CFP representative. They went to Gainesville and pulled off the 18-16 upset of the Florida Gators. It was USF's first road win over a ranked opponent since 2011."

Oregon opened with two explosive plays—a 59-yard touchdown by Noah Whittington and a 65-yard pass from Dante Moore to Dakorien Moore—to take an early lead over Oklahoma State.
