College football scores, rankings, highlights: USC cruises to easy win, Oregon survives road scare in Week 2
Week 2 of the 2023 college football season is in the books, and a Saturday full of notable non-conference matchups certainly didn’t disappoint. Between first-time matchups, rivalries renewed, frantic finishes and a few upsets, the day provided a bit more clarity on which teams might be contenders and which ones are merely pretenders.
A eyes were on the top-15 showdown in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that saw No. 11 Texas upend No. 3 Alabama as the Longhorns snapped the Crimson Tide’s 21-game home winning streak.
No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Michigan. No. 4 Florida State and No. 5 Ohio State all cruised to comfortable victories at home against lesser competition, but that wasn’t the case for everyone. No. 12 Utah and No. 13 Oregon survived scares against Baylor and Texas Tech on the road, while No. 17 North Carolina needed two overtimes to beat an always-pesky Appalachian State team at home.
Other ranked teams weren’t so lucky. No. 23 Texas A&M fell at Miami, and No. 19 Wisconsin’s first season under coach Luke Fickell took a sour turn as the Badgers went down at Washington State.
There’s also No. 22 Colorado, which continues to live up to the hype in Deion Sanders’ first year at the helm. The Buffaloes cruised to victory at home Saturday against Nebraska as the two longtime former conference foes renewed their rivalry. Elsewhere in Pac-12 country, No. 6 USC raced past Stanford in the last scheduled meeting between the schools, while Auburn took down Cal in the first meeting between those two programs.
