(Dropped out: Michigan State <----- OUCH! NO TOP 25?, South Carolina, Northwestern)

MORE: Biggest Week 2 overreactions

Biggest move up: Texas A&M

We know Texas A&M lost to Clemson. But the Aggies put the college football world on notice by taking the defending ACC champions to the wire in a 28-26 loss. Quarterback Kellen Mond looked fantastic against that ferocious Clemson defensive line, and Kendrick Rogers looks like the next Aggies great at receiver. Jimbo Fisher looks like he has this team a lot closer to competing for a College Football Playoff than we thought, and that's why they make the top 25 even after a loss.

Biggest move down: USC

USC was exposed early and often against a staunch Stanford defense on Saturday. JT Daniels struggled, completing less than 50 percent of his passes (16 for 34) for 215 yards and two interceptions. The Trojans couldn't get anything going on the ground either; running backs Aca'Cedric Ware and Stephen Carr combined for 111 rushing yards, but no touchdowns. Clay Helton has time to right the ship in Los Angeles, but the Trojans can't put out another stale performance with a trip to Texas looming.

OMG!  WORSE B10 EVER? SB NATION.....

All rankings AP, until the committee’s start releasing. Final scores in italics.

Probably important

Games in which the winning team will likely have a pretty high-quality Week 3 victory by season’s end.

  • No. 1 Alabama (3-0) 62, Ole Miss (2-1) 7: A horrific road win over a team likely to finish with a winning record. Shutting down an offense like Ole Miss’ feels like the kind of anecdote the committee’s chair would cite on ESPN while praising Bama.
  • No. 4 Ohio State (3-0) 40, No. 15 TCU (2-1) 28: Nobody should get true road-game credit here, since Jerry World is close to TCU’s campus but likely to be a Buckeye-heavy crowd. OSU adds one of the year’s best non-con wins, as TCU looks like it can compete with anybody it plays.
  • BYU (2-1) 24, No. 6 Wisconsin (2-1) 21: I guess BYU’s terrible 2017 was a fluke, huh? Also, not a great Saturday for the Big Ten, with OOC losses by Maryland, Nebraska, and Rutgers.
  • No. 12 LSU (3-0) 22, No. 7 Auburn (2-1) 21: As always, either of these teams could go anywhere between 11-1 and 7-5, but a solid resume item is pretty assured for LSU.
  • No. 10 Washington (1-1) at Utah (2-0), 10, ESPN: Utah might have a really good defense, or might just be untested. The former could mean an excellent win by Utah. It could also mean giving the committee more or less reason to worry about UW’s offense.
  • No. 24 Oklahoma State (3-0) 44, No. 17 Boise State (2-1) 21: Really impressive W (Boise was actually favored at kickoff), and the New Year’s Six race gets all of its drama back.

Maybe important

Games in which the winner will probably have beaten a decent bowl team (or better), and I’m being slightly generous in Week 3.

  • No. 2 Clemson (3-0) 38, Georgia Southern (2-1) 7: The Eagles appear pretty likely to bowl.
  • No. 3 Georgia (3-0) 49, Middle Tennessee (1-2) 7: MTSU has a shot at .500.
  • No. 5 Oklahoma (3-0) 37, Iowa State (0-2) 27: ISU’s pretty likely to rebound and make a bowl. Decent road win.
  • No. 8 Notre Dame (3-0) 22, Vanderbilt (2-1) 17: I think Vandy’s actually pretty good!
  • No. 16 Mississippi State (3-0) 56, UL Lafayette (1-1) 10: Sure, let’s say the Ragin’ Cajuns are a bowl team for now. S&P+ likes them.
  • No. 21 Miami (2-1) 49, Toledo (1-1) 24: Pretty impressive road win for the Canes, quite far from home (about as far as Delaware to New Mexico) and against a good team.
  • Texas (2-1) 37, No. 22 USC (1-2) 14: Well, it was a ranked game.
  • No. 23 Arizona State (2-0) at San Diego State (1-1), 10:30, CBSSN: Visualize telling yourself “11-1 Herm Edwards, whose non-conference conquests included the Big Ten East champ and MWC West champ ...” and embrace madness. No, stop objecting. You’re not embracing madness yet. There you go.

Not important

The committee doesn’t really care about wins vs. FCS teams, teams with final losing records, and so forth.

  • No. 9 Stanford (3-0) 30, FCS UC Davis 10
  • No. 11 Penn State (3-0) 63, Kent State (1-2) 10
  • No. 13 Virginia Tech’s game against East Carolina was canceled due to weather, which isn’t a big loss for the Hokies’ schedule.
  • No. 14 West Virginia’s game against NC State was also canceled. Would’ve been a really nice win for the victor, not that football matters much here.
  • No. 18 UCF’s game against UNC was also nixed. A win wouldn’t have moved the needle for the Knights anyway, as wild as that is to say about a prominent ACC program.
  • No. 19 Michigan (2-1) 45, SMU (0-3) 20
  • No. 20 Oregon (3-0) 35, San Jose State (0-3) 22
  • No. 25 Michigan State (1-1): Idly recovering from Herm Edwards.

Other than maybe UC-Davis, none of the teams/opponents you mention are FCS teams.  Kent st., SMU, San Jose St.  are all FBS, though, yes, they are not P5, they are still FBS.
