Oklahoma State Football Jersey, (Editor\'s Note: All of the team rankings are based on the Top 25 Coaches\' Poll, and the Sagarin Ratings, Jeff Sagarin\'s factual, mathematical ratings among competition between all 245 Division 1 teams.)
Only 7 teams remained on top and on track at 2-0 during the second week of the college football season-Florida, USC, Alabama, California, Boise State, Brigham Young and Kansas.
No. 1 Florida crushed Troy 56-6 behind Tim Tebow\'s career-high 4 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown.
No. 3 Southern Cal saved the best to last against No. 7 Ohio State to win, 18-15, on the road as freshman quarterback Matt Barkley led the Trojans on a 14-play, 95-yard drive to score with 1:05 remaining. The Buckeyes of Ohio State have now lost 7 straight games against top 5 teams, including two national title games and last season\'s 35-3 drubbing by USC in Los Angeles.
No. 4 Alabama took down Florida International 40-14 as QB Greg McElroy completed a school-record 14 straight passes. Remember that Alabama was the same school that Joe \"Willie\" Namath led to a National Championship in 1964, and Kenny \"The Snake\" Stabler led to another National Championship in 1965. Both Namath and Stabler played for the Crimson Tide\'s legendary coach Paul \"Bear\" Bryant.
No. 10 California routed Eastern Washington, 59-7, behind Jahvid Best\'s 144 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns, one rushing and another on a 22-yard reception.
No. 11 Boise State shut out Miami of Ohio, 48-0, as QB Kellen Moore went 16-for-26 for 307 yards and 4 touchdown passes.
No. 12 Brigham Young, following up on its 14-13 upset of Oklahoma a week earlier, kicked Tulane sideways on the road, 54-3, as QB Max Hall threw for 309 yards and 2 TDs and Bryan Kaiya scored twice.
No. 25 Kansas whipped UTEP, 34-7, on the road behind Jack Sharp\'s 104 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns.
There were 4 genuine upsets as Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Tennessee and Michigan State all hit the turf hard.
No. 20 Notre Dame allowed Tate Focier to throw a 5-yard TD pass to Greg Matthews with 11 seconds to go to give unranked Michigan a 38-34 victory in the Big House at Ann Arbor. Focier, a freshman, went 23-for-33 for 240 yards, 2 TDs, one interception, and ran for 70 yards and a score. Notre Dame\'s star Oklahoma State Football Jersey QB Jimmy Clausen, now a junior, went 25-for-42 for 336 yards and 3 TDs, Oklahoma State Football Jersey but did miss some throws that proved costly.
You can argue about who was the better QB on this day, however, nothing counts but the final score, and Notre Dame again came up a loser in a big game.
After taking down Georgia last week, No. 6 Oklahoma State, a 15-point favorite, let it all slip away while losing to Houston 45-35 at home. The Cowboys need to learn how to ride again; they seem to always have more offense than defense.
UCLA quietly went to 2-0 by upsetting Tennessee on the road 19-15. The Volunteers, a 10-point favorite, are not making much of an impression in the SEC anymore.
The Michigan State Spartans, favored by 14.5, let Central Michigan totally embarrass them with a last-second 29-27 defeat on their home turf. The Spartans had an excellent schedule this year that offered them a chance to run the table (go undefeated) since they drew both Michigan and Penn State at home and did not have to play Ohio State.
Instead, Michigan State was out-coached, out-played and deserved to lose.
Five teams went 2-0 and scored good wins to cement their position as up and comers to watch:
No.18 Nebraska, favored by 21, beat Arkansas State 38-9. No. 23 Cincinnati beat 1-AA SE Missouri State 70-3. Unranked Pittsburgh, favored by 10.5, beat a good Buffalo team 54-27 on the Oklahoma State Football Jersey road. Unranked Iowa beat in-state rival Iowa State 35-3 on the road.
Unranked and unbeaten Southern Methodist upset UAB 35-33, and they did it on the road. Now don\'t laugh at SMU, give the Mustangs and coach June Jones some credit; after all, if you are a fan of Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Rutgers or Georgia, your team is not 2-0, you are 1-1.
Another unranked team that went 0-12 last year finally won its first game in 16 tries as new head coach Steve Sarkisian and new defensive coordinator Nick Holt put together an impressive 42-23 victory over Idaho. Yes, Idaho is no big deal, but Washington is going to start winning and beating better teams than Idaho. You read it here first.
