Nick Saban wants a different criteria for judging which teams reach the College Football Playoff

If you thought Week 1 of the college football season was wild, Week 2 took the typical chaos to a whole new level.

Out of nowhere, the Oregon Ducks suffered a shocking upset on the road to the recently hapless Oklahoma State Cowboys.

The Michigan Wolverines, who dropped out of the Top 25 after a disappointing "win" over Western Michigan, and seemed eliminated from contention for the College Football Playoff, beat the No.

11 Oklahoma Sooners.

The game of the week delivered, in spades, with the Texas Longhorns completing a remarkable fourth quarter comeback at home against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The Buckeyes dominated the game for 45 minutes, had opportunity after opportunity to put the Longhorns away, and missed all of them.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S CHAOS ERA IS HERE: TEXAS RALLIES, OREGON FALLS AND LANE KIFFIN EYES RETURN TO OLE MISS Even Texas Tech, which seemed set up to run through an easy schedule, struggled on the road against Oregon State before pulling away late in the fourth quarter.

Mostly, the week served as a reminder of what makes college football great: big-name teams playing other big-name teams in incredible environments at historic stadiums.

The inherently lesser talent at the collegiate level making come-from-behind wins more possible.

And stakes, with wins and losses that matter.

It was also a reminder that in the era of the expanded College Football Playoff , these games are becoming less and less common.

Because of misplaced incentives, the rise of superconferences , and a selection committee whose criteria for picking teams are nebulous and ever-shifting at best, and bewildering and incomprehensible at worst.

Legendary head coach Nick Saban, speaking on ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday, had some suggestions on how to improve the playoff process and encourage more of these matchups: strength of schedule .

"Players love to play in big games," Saban said.
