In a Week 2 that was light on ranked-on-ranked matchups, there was certainly still plenty of intriguing results.

Unranked South Florida went into Gainesville and upset the No. 13 Florida Gators, putting Billy Napier back squarely on the hot seat.

Elsewhere, No. 18 Oklahoma picked up a significant home win for head coach Brent Venables over No. 15 Michigan in the marquee matchup of Week 2.

Baylor bounced back after a tough Week 1 loss to Auburn to upset No. 17 SMU in Dallas, while unranked Mississippi State and quarterback Blake Shapen completed a 58-yard touchdown pass to Brenen Thompson with 30 seconds left to pace a home upset of No. 12 Arizona State.

With those results, and plenty of others in mind, let's take a look at the projected top 25 heading into Week 3.
