College Football’s New AP Poll After Week 2 Action

After all the college football action in Week 2, two standouts made major climbs in the latest AP Poll. Both Iowa (5) and Oregon (4) jumped five-or-more spots after huge wins. Previously 12th-ranked Oregon took down #3 Ohio State (35-28) while #10 Iowa outplayed rival #9 Iowa State (27-17). Meanwhile, top teams like #8 Notre Dame and #5 Texas A&M survived unranked opponents by just three points apiece and dropped in the rankings. Here’s the latest look at the AP Poll after two weeks.
