A Semana 2 deveria ser sobre os jogos de alto perfil SEC-Big Ten: Oklahoma-Michigan e Ohio State-Texas. Embora esses dois jogos tenham se mostrado divertidos à sua maneira -- os Wolverines venceram uma batalha defensiva contra os Sooners e os Longhorns voltaram de um déficit de 20 pontos -- o mais impactante pode ser o jogo Big Ten-Big 12: Oregon-Oklahoma State. Os Ducks, que arrasaram os Pokes na temporada passada, eram favoritos por 23,5 pontos. Mas atrás de 554 jardas totais de ataque de Drew Mestemaker e do ataque dos Cowboys, OSU conseguiu a vitória por 39-31. A derrota de Oregon tirou os Ducks das projeções do playoff.
