College Football Week 2 reaction and live recap — Michigan vs Oklahoma, Oregon vs Oklahoma State. Who is king? SEC football or Big Ten vs Big 12, ESPN FPI controversy, Arch Manning & Bryce Underwood, Miami hurricanes & Florida State football, South Florida vs Florida gators. George Wrighster is live breaking down a wild Week 2: why the Big 12 disappointed in non-conference play, but Big Ten football didn’t (Oregon football, Ohio State football, Michigan football, Indiana hoosiers, Penn State football, USC football, Washington huskies) looked elite, and why the SEC handled its non-con tests while the ACC’s best hopes are Miami and Florida State. Plus, the nation’s biggest surprise: South Florida out-toughing Florida in The Swamp.
We unpack statement wins and red flags: Oregon 69–3 over Oklahoma State (Moore sharp, defense ruthless), Army 24–21 at Kansas State, Mississippi State 24–20 over Arizona State (program win for Jeff Lebby; Blake Shapen steady), Ohio 17–10 West Virginia, Missouri 42–31 Kansas. Then the algorithm smoke: ESPN FPI after Week 2 vaults Alabama to #4 after ULM while FSU sits #26, Miami falls to #21, 0–1 Notre Dame at #10, USF ranked 15 spots behind Florida, Arkansas up 10 spots for AAMU/Ark St, Oregon to #1 after blasting a bad OkSt, Iowa State down seven—we’ll show why the FPI formula is broken even as SOS and efficiency love the SEC.
Deep dive: Michigan vs Oklahoma (24–13) — OU led 14–0 at half, went 7/13 on third down to Michigan’s 3/13, and never ceded control. John Mateer (270 pass, 74 rush, 3 TD) answered every Wolverine push; Deion Burks (7–101–TD) stressed the corners. Bryce Underwood (9/24, 142) flashed arm talent but never found rhythm vs pressure. Justice Haynes (125 rush, 75-yd TD) provided the lone spark while OU’s front won the non-explosive downs. Hidden pivot: a missed 32-yd Michigan FG in a low-possession game. OU closed with a clock-kill drive—blueprint stuff.
Around the country: South Florida 18–16 Florida (walk-off Nico Gramatica FG; Gators 11 penalties, bad punt snap safety; DJ Lagway banged up), Iowa 16–13 Iowa State (rock fight; Hawkeye offense still stuck in 1998), Ole Miss 30–23 Kentucky (Austin Simmons survives two INTs; Kewan Lacy hammers), Arizona State 20–24 Mississippi State (ASU rallies late but stalls at the 1), Illinois 45–19 Duke (Luke Altmyer dicing; Duke turnovers doom), Baylor 38–38 SMU to OT (Sawyer Robertson spectacular, defense leaks), LSU 23–7 LaTech (defense carries; Nussmeier steady), Alabama 73–0 ULM, Ohio State 77–0 Grambling, Georgia 28–6 Austin Peay. We’ll also hit Bryce Underwood vs the Arch Manning anointing, why Brent Venables calling OU’s defense + a real QB = SEC problem, and which teams are real vs noise heading into Week 3. Tap in live—no fluff, just truth.
