The Trojans ventured up as did Clemson yet the big story on everyone's mind of Week 2 was Lincoln Riley winning his first road game as a head mentor on the road at Ohio State. Baker Mayfield sparkled but so did Riley in his play-calling and plan to exploit the Buckeyes' defense. Here's the rest of Top 10 after Week 2.
1. Alabama: After overcoming a talented FSU team by 17, the Tide pounded another FSU—Fresno State, 41– 10. Nick Saban's squad is the nearest thing to sure team in college football at this moment.
2. Oklahoma: Baker Mayfield was practically faultless again this week, just this time he cut up Ohio State on the road . The Sooners' young WRs have stepped up pleasantly. The O-line only permitted OSU's wild pass rush to just two sacks while the Sooners D, drove by big-play man Obo Okoronkwo, only surrendered one play longer than 17 yards—a 31-yard pass play.
3. Clemson: Brent Venables' D has been dreadful. After holding Kent State to only 120 yards, the Tigers held Gus Malzahn's offense to only 117 and sacked Auburn 11 times.
4. USC: The Trojans had a solid performance, penetrating Stanford 42– 24 as Sam Darnold and the Trojans passing attack took it to a decent Stanford secondary while the run game was explosive.
5. Penn State: James Franklin's group got some revenge against rival Pitt who beat them a year ago, winning helpfully 33– 14. In two weeks, PSU has outscored two FBS opponents 85– 14.
6. Oklahoma State: The schedule hasn't been too unpleasant however Mason Rudolph and friends have been sharp. A week ago the Cowboys pounded a Tulsa team that won 10 games a year ago, 59– 24. This week, they impacted South Alabama 44– 7.
7. Michigan: Jim Harbaugh's group held Florida to 197 yards a week ago and held Cincy to only 200 this week in a 36– 14 defeat. Don Brown's D had two Pick-6s, giving the Michigan defence three touchdowns on the season, one more than its opponents' offensive total.
8. LSU: One week after dominating BYU 27– 0 in spite of missing a bundle of starters, LSU whipped FCS Chattanooga, 45– 10 as Derrius Guice went more than 100 yards for the second time this season.
9. Washington: The Huskies non-gathering schedule is cushy. A week ago it was Rutgers. This week, it was FCS Montana who didn't give the Huskies a lot of a fight. U-Dub traveled to a 63– 7 win, out-gaining the Griz, 506– 163. next week's rival is Fresno, which likely won't give excessively of a test either.
10. Wisconsin: Freshman RB Jonathan Taylor from New Jersey ran all over FAU for 223 yards and three TDs. The Badgers turned the ball over three times. They likely won't face a ranked team till Michigan visits on Nov. 18.
