College football power ratings: Oregon, Oklahoma tumble in expert's Week 3 rankings, but who's No. 1?
SportsLine college football expert Thomas Casale breaks down his top college football teams after Week 2


The season started with the Oregon Ducks at the top of my power rankings. That is no longer the case after Oregon lost to Oklahoma State on Saturday as a 24.5-point favorite. This week Notre Dame takes the top spot, while Texas moves up after its incredible comeback win over Ohio State.
I'll break down the power rankings by tiers so bettors can see where I cut off each group. During the year, I will move teams based on results and discuss changes in the betting market. Here are my rankings after Week 2 of the 2026 season.
How far did Ohio State fall after losing a 20-point fourth-quarter lead against Texas? And did Oregon fall out of the top tier after its upset loss against Oklahoma State? Join SportsLine right now to see Thomas Casale's power rankings after Week 2!
