Even simply 2 weeks into the college football season, opinions are being formed as well as projections are being produced exactly how the rest of the schedule will certainly play out.

That's a hazardous suggestion when there are 11 even more weeks and also the uncertain nature of the sport has actually already been on full display screen this period. Almost half of the preseason Top 25 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Survey has currently lost a game.

There are even more to come. So one should temper their assumptions and also not overreact to results. Here are five of those results from Week 2 to remember when looking in advance. Oregon is lock to make the playoff As impressive as it was for the Ducks to go into Columbus as well as defeat No. 3 Ohio State, allow's hold back on crowning them the champs of the Pac-12, not to mention giving them a freebie to the playoff. It's very easy to concentrate on a team's violation when evaluating its ability. Oregon has the running game that is mosting likely to be an issue for most teams to handle. Nevertheless, the success versus the Buckeyes was also because of OSU's resist the run that likewise were on screen against Minnesota. Quarterback Anthony Brown played effectively, however what still stays to be seen is exactly how the Ducks fare against an elite unit that can slow its run game down. UCLA as well as Arizona State have that ability. The various other much more important issue in the protection. Yes, beginners Kayvon Thibodeux and Justin Flowe were out versus Ohio State and also they would certainly have helped. Oregon still bent significantly by allowing



612 backyards to a fresher quarterback. The protection really did not break, though it was close. It's a problem that requires some sorting out prior to the Pac-12's first berth considering that 2016 is validated. HIGHS AND LOWS: Winners as well as losers from Week 2 in college football

MISEERY INDEX:Top place goes to Southern The golden state, Clay Helton after los s WEEK 2 OBSERVATIONS: Iowa plays itself right into postseason factor to consider Michigan is ready to compete in the Big Ten Two things can be real at the exact same time. The Wolverines can look enhanced, especially with their running video game, and we can not make any type of resolution on how great this group is up until the competitionobtains tougher. Washington was intended to be a very early examination prior to the Huskies revealed themselves asamong the overrated teams from the preseason. So when will we understand if this overhauled Michigan team is mosting likely to have the ability to compete for the division title in the East that unexpectedly seems vast open with Ohio State's loss? Remarkably, it could be in 2 weeks versus Rutgers. But we will certainly understand for sure when the Wolverines visit Wisconsin on Oct. 2. Till then, do not obtain too expensive or

The season mores than for Iowa State OK, the loss to Iowa was a big disappointment for a program that returned a lot of seniors who were hoping to press the program to undiscovered elevations. Possibly the pressure of the minute was too great and also the Cyclones attempted too difficult versus a competing it remains to be unable to solve. This is still a skilled team that can run the table in the Large 12. It has to begin with improved play from quarterback Brock Purdy. Turnovers have

been his bugaboo throughout his occupation and it once more

raised its head Saturday. The silver lining is the means the defense closed down the Hawkeyes -holding them to 173 lawns -as well as the unit must keep the group in the majority of its video games. The margin of mistake is gone, but do not be amazed if this group makes a run at the conference title and more.

Arkansas is a top-tier team in the SEC West Yes, the win against Texas was impressive, especially with the method the Razorbacks controlled both lines of scrimmage. This should not be a surprise offered Sam Pittman's background as an offensive line train, and the indicators of recovery that revealed last year when Arkansas defeated three SEC teams after one organization win in the previous three seasons. 

The Hogs will not manhandle teams in the SEC the means they did in your home Saturday, so pressing them in advance of Texas A&M, Mississippi, LSU or Auburn. Successive video games against the Aggies as well as Georgia beginning later this month will offer a better sign if the field-storming win versus the Longhorns was proof of something

bigger handy. Florida State can't sink any kind of reduced Just when you believed the Seminoles were going&to rebound this season after an outstanding opener against Notre Dame, they discover one more way to demonstrate how far this program has actually fallen from its former elite standing. Florida State seemed gone to a comfy -otherwise outstanding -win against Jacksonville State from the Football Champion Subdivision. After that

, it stopped working to rack up from the 1 with a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Gamecocks rallied to within 17-14, setting up a final-play goal for the win on a 59-yard pass that saw the Seminoles inexplicably eschew a protect against defense for a man-to-man coverage. Before 2018, Florida State had not had a losing period since 1976, Bobby Bowden's first year. The Seminoles have done it twice in the last three years and also it is resembling 3 of 4 after an 0-2 start. Hard times in Tallahassee.
