College Football Week 2 Winners and Losers: Texas is actually back, Alabama dynasty may be over

Texas is back, the Alabama dynasty might be crumbling and other takeaways from Week 2 of the college football season.

Week 2 of the college football season has come and gone, and it was certainly a doozy.

The highlight came in Tuscaloosa as Texas handed Alabama its first non-conference loss at Bryant-Denny Stadium since coach Nick Saban’s first season in 2007, sending a message to its future SEC foe.

In addition to the Longhorns announcing themselves under Steve Sarkisian, Miami seems to have made some strides in Year 2 under Mario Cristobal after handing Texas A&M a loss that will surely be frustrating for Aggies fans.

Deion Sanders kept Colorado rolling in its home-opener against Nebraska, as well, setting up a potentially fascinating matchup between likely unbeaten teams when the Buffs travel to face Oregon in Week 4.

With the second weekend of the season now behind us, here were the winners and losers.
