Minggu 2 seharusnya tentang pertandingan SEC-Big Ten profil tinggi: Oklahoma-Michigan dan Ohio State-Texas. Meskipun kedua pertandingan itu terbukti menghibur dengan caranya sendiri -- Wolverines memenangkan pertarungan defensif dengan Sooners dan Longhorns bangkit dari ketertinggalan 20 poin -- yang paling berdampak mungkin adalah pertandingan Big Ten-Big 12: Oregon-Oklahoma State. Ducks, yang menghancurkan Pokes musim lalu, adalah favorit 23,5 poin. Namun di balik 554 yard total ofensif dari Drew Mestemaker dan ofensif Cowboys, OSU meraih kemenangan 39-31. Kekalahan Oregon telah menyingkirkan Ducks dari proyeksi playoff.
