CBS Sports 138: Texas surges to No. 1 spot, Michigan returns to top 25 in college football rankings

No college football season is truly off and running until we get our first couple of top-10 clashes and top-10 upsets. In Week 2, we checked both boxes, with Texas storming back dramatically to beat Ohio State at home and Oregon getting stunned by an Oklahoma State team that had just lost its season opener at Tulsa. Throw in the confusion of how to rate Michigan following two very different results (the controversial finish against Western Michigan, a win against Oklahoma), and you can see why college football voters have their hands full trying to fill out a ballot in mid-September.

Thankfully, you, the college football fan, do not carry the same burden as us here at CBS Sports. We rank every FBS team every single week for the CBS Sports 138, using ballots from experts at CBS Sports and 247Sports to compile a composite ranking set of the entire landscape. It allows us to identify not just the cut off at 25, like the major polls, but also what it looks like around the top 40, top 50 and beyond. So when teams like Oklahoma or Illinois take those harmful losses, we don't just bounce them from our ballots…
