**Atlanta, GA** – The first month of the college football season is notorious for wild swings in the rankings, and Week 2 was no exception. Unexpected results have led to significant adjustments in the CBS Sports 134 rankings, particularly in the top 50.
Georgia remains firmly in the No. 1 spot, while Texas’ impressive win over Michigan propelled them to No. 2, overtaking Ohio State. The Buckeyes will have a chance to reclaim the top spot later in the season, but for now, the Bulldogs and Longhorns hold the edge.
Notre Dame’s stunning upset loss to Northern Illinois sent shockwaves through the rankings, causing major movement for both teams and leading to Tennessee’s rise to No. 7 after their dominant victory over NC State.
Michigan and Notre Dame, despite their Week 2 defeats, remain in the top 25, albeit outside the top 15. However, the rankings from No. 25 to No. 50 are experiencing the most significant changes.
Teams like Illinois, Syracuse, and South Carolina, previously unheralded, have climbed into the top 45 after pulling off impressive wins against power conference opponents.
Experts from CBS Sports and 247Sports contribute to the rankings, which are updated weekly. For a full list of the rankings, including the teams ranked 26-134, visit the CBS Sports rankings page.
