Week 2 of the college football season seemed to separate the elite teams fighting for spots in the College Football Playoff from the rest of the field.
Throughout the season, our college football writers will pick their top four teams after each week's action. And this week, only six programs received votes.
No. 1 Clemson dominated against No. 12 Texas A&M, defeating the Aggies 24-10.
Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence passed for a touchdown and ran for another.
No. 2 Alabama rolled over New Mexico State 62-10. There was no sluggish start for the Crimson Tide in Week 2, as they took a 38-0 lead into halftime.
No. 3 Georgia had no trouble with Murray State, winning 63-17.
No. 4 Oklahoma got another big game from QB Jalen Hurts, as the Sooners breezed to a 70-14 victory over South Dakota.
Justin Fields was again the star for No. 5 Ohio State, passing for two scores and running for two more as the Buckeyes blanked Cincinnati 42-0.
And No. 6 LSU showed it could win a big game on the road, outscoring No. 9 Texas 45-38.
Joe Burrow passed for 471 yards and four touchdowns to lead LSU.
