Bowl projections after Week 2 - Fallout from Texas-Alabama - ESPN

The marquee matchup of Week 2 produced what has to be considered at least a mild surprise as Texas went into Tuscaloosa and posted a convincing win over the Crimson Tide.

The only other teams in the Top 25 to fall were No. 19 Wisconsin (31-22 at Washington State), No. 23 Texas A&M (48-33 at Miami), and No. 24 Tulane (37-20 vs. No. 20 Ole Miss). Elsewhere, Utah, Oregon and North Carolina scrambled their way to victory, and the rest of the top teams took care of business.

How did the Longhorns' statement win (and Alabama's early loss) stir up the top of the bowl game pecking order? What other ramifications were felt up and down the ladder? Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach are here to sort it all out, with projections for all 43 matchups, plus their takes on the CFP picture, teams clearly headed in the wrong direction and the game they'd be most excited to see.

CFP breakdown

Bonagura: With Alabama out of the equation following its loss to Texas, the assumption that the SEC will get two teams no longer applies. That could change down the road, but for now we're going to operate under the assumption two Power 5 conference champions won't get passed
