There was some significant movement in the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll after a wild Week 2.
A stunning 16-14 loss against Northern Illinois pushed Notre Dame from No. 5 all the way down to No. 18, dealing the Fighting Irish a major blow in their pursuit of a College Football Playoff berth. Michigan dropped from No. 10 to No. 17 after getting smacked by Texas, which jumped to No. 2 behind only top-ranked Georgia.
There were also a few close calls for ranked teams that managed to avoid upsets. Oregon defeated Boise State with a buzzer-beating field goal, Penn State overcame an early deficit against Bowling Green, and Oklahoma State needed two overtime periods in order to take down Arkansas.
