Oregon Romps as Oklahoma Surges After Contentious Auburn Win

The weekend’s results reshaped early hierarchies, with Oklahoma climbing to No. 1 in a fresh Yahoo ranking after a disputed sequence drew rules scrutiny.

Overview

  • No. 6 Oregon beat Oregon State 41-7 behind Dante Moore’s 305 yards and a career-best four touchdown passes, moving the Ducks to 4-0.
  • No. 11 Oklahoma edged No. 22 Auburn 24-17 as John Mateer threw for 271 yards and scored the go-ahead 9-yard TD run with 4:54 left, and the Sooners recorded a school-record 10 sacks including a late safety.
  • A controversial Oklahoma touchdown involved a movement resembling a substitution tactic; ABC rules analyst Matt Austin said it should have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
  • Oregon State fell to 0-4, with coach Trent Bray citing second-half lapses, special teams errors and loss of focus after saying the Beavers "let go of the rope."
  • Nebraska’s 30-27 home loss to Michigan featured missed chances, including a failed fourth down, a missed 44-yard field goal and an early interception in a game the Cornhuskers nearly salvaged late.
