College Football Week 2 Power Rankings

Due to the top 5 matchup to kickoff the year, one team was guaranteed to drop after just one week. That unfortunately for them was Oregon; the runner-up in last year's national title game. Besides that other top teams were able to avoid potential early stumbles as most romped their way to victory. Auburn, the team that beat Oregon, probably looked possibly the weakest out of those in top 20 (besides Notre Dame of course). Not surprisingly, the top two teams; Oklahoma and Alabama; had little trouble maintaining their rankings heading into Week 2.
