After taking a breath following a wild and fun Week 2 of the college football season, here are some quick, unscientific takeaways: Oregon might be overrated, Michigan remains confusing and Texas just might be ready for the big time.
But let’s not get too excited just yet, particularly regarding Texas. The Longhorns still have six teams on their schedule that are currently ranked, so things could take a turn in a hurry. And as Stewart Mandel points out in his weekly mailbag, Arch Manning — despite the comeback vs. Ohio State — remains an enigma.
