Michigan made the biggest Week 2 move, climbing from No. 12 to No. 3 after a 17-10 home win over Oklahoma, the league’s lone marquee victory over an SEC opponent.

Indiana stayed No. 1 at 2-0 after a 55-0 rout of Howard, while Ohio State dropped to No. 2 despite Jeremiah Smith’s 164 receiving yards in Austin.
Oregon slid from No. 3 to No. 6 after allowing 39 points and 317 passing yards plus 109 rushing yards to Oklahoma State’s Drew Mestemaker.
At the bottom, Rutgers fell to No. 18 at 0-2 after a 21-21? no, 21-point loss to Boston College, with Purdue 17th and Minnesota tumbling six spots to 16th.
