SEC vs Big Ten debate takes center stage in college football Week 2 winners, losers
Texas beat Ohio State, Oregon lost and the Big Ten struggled in nonconference play as the SEC strengthened its claim atop college football.
The SEC had a strong showing in Week 2 of college football, while the Big Ten faced significant challenges. No. 3 Texas pulled off an impressive comeback, defeating No. 1 Ohio State 24-23, solidifying the SEC's reputation as the premier conference. Meanwhile, No. 24 Michigan secured a surprising 17-10 victory over No. 10 Oklahoma, providing a glimmer of hope for the Big Ten.
Other notable results included Texas' strong performance under new quarterback Arch Manning, who led the team to memorable scoring drives, and Boise State's narrow loss to Oregon State, which could negatively impact Boise's standing against Pac-12 and American Conference teams. On the losing side, the Big Ten suffered defeats against Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue, Washington, and Oregon, while the SEC claimed victories over Ohio State, Michigan, Minnesota, and Tennessee.
