Big upsets and more than a few close calls: College football week 2 nearly brings complete chaos

Posted Sep 14, 2021
Two top-10 teams lost Saturday. The Pac-12 rose from the ashes of so many years of misery to make an emphatic statement on a national stage. Nick Saban lambasted his Alabama team for a 48-14 win. Texas is already 0-1 in SEC play. Week 2 had all the hallmarks of a great day of college football. It's amazing it didn't end with even more chaos. (ESPN.com)
