The college football rankings will be quite chaotic Sunday, as it was upset Saturday in Week 2.

Three AP Top 10 teams lost — No. 6 Texas A&M (Appalachian State), No. 8 Notre Dame (Marshall) and No. 9 Baylor (BYU).

No. 1 Alabama didn’t fare too well against Texas either, as the Tide narrowly beat the Longhorns 20-19 on a last-second field. Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson and Michigan all won big.

ESPN updated its college football rankings after Week 2, and 8 SEC teams were ranked in the top 25. Alabama kept the No. 1 ranking. Georgia (3), Tennessee (7) and Mississippi State (9) all remained ranked in the top 10.
