After a dominant 48-20 win over Arizona State at Kyle Field on Saturday, Texas A&M has been moved up one spot in the AP Top 25 entering Week 3.
The Aggies had another sloppy first half, but quickly turned things around to boat race the Sun Devils in College Station. Texas A&M's Marco Jones and Julio Humphrey both recorded pick-sixes in the second half that put the game out of reach, while the offense slowly found its rhythm. Junior quarterback Marcel Reed threw for 163 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception.
Elsewhere across college football, massive upsets led to many teams dropping multiple spots in this week's rankings. Oregon lost on the road at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma suffered a loss to Michigan at the Big House and Texas finally
won the big one, mounting a 21-point comeback to topple No. 1 Ohio State.
