The eight-man officiating crew that botched the end of the Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game has been suspended for two games, the Mid-American Conference announced Sunday.

And the Big 12 announced that the two-person video replay crew that worked the game also has been suspended for two games. In addition, the replay crew will be prohibited from working postseason games this season.

‘‘The crew missed an opportunity to advise the MAC officiating crew of the misapplication of the penalty giving CMU an untimed down that resulted in its game-winning touchdown,’’ Big 12 coordinator of officials Walt Anderson said in a statement. ‘‘NCAA rules permit instant replay to correct egregious errors and it is unacceptable that it did not occur in this situation.’’

Officials mistakenly gave Central Michigan (2-0) an untimed final play from midfield after Oklahoma State (1-1) was penalized for intentional grounding while trying to run off the last four seconds of the fourth quarter with a 3-point lead.

On that play, the Chippewas scored a touchdown on a long pass and lateral to win, 30-27. The referee admitted afterward that an error was made by extending the game after a loss-of-down penalty.

‘‘After a thorough review and evaluation of the entire Central Michigan at Oklahoma State contest, we have decided to suspend the officiating crew for the next two consecutive weeks,’’ Bill Carollo, national coordinator of college football officials, said in statement released by the MAC.

Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder voiced his protest, but the result of the game was final. In turn, the No. 22 Cowboys dropped out of the AP Top 25 in this week’s rankings.

Alabama atop AP poll

While close calls caused No. 2 Clemson to plummet to No. 5 and No. 16 Georgia to fall seven spots, Alabama remained firmly entrenched atop the AP Top 25 at No. 1, receiving 56 out of 61 first-place votes. No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Ohio State, and No. 4 Michigan all moved up one spot. The Seminoles got four first-place votes and Michigan received one.

Clemson fell to fifth after a 4-point win against Troy, while Georgia dropped seven spots after beating FCS Nicholls State by 2.

No. 10 Louisville cracked the Top 10 for the first time since October 2013. The Cardinals host the second-ranked Seminoles Saturday in one of the biggest Atlantic Coast Conference games in school history.

Ducks take off

Dakota Prukop threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns, Royce Freeman ran for 207 yards and two scores, and No. 24 Oregon defeated Virginia, 44-26, on Saturday night in Eugene, Ore.

Olympic hurdler Devon Allen caught four passes for 141 yards and a touchdown, which he celebrated by pretending to clear hurdles in the end zone, and the Ducks got their second win to start the season before next Saturday’s game against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium.

Freeman said the Ducks’ famous speed found its groove.

‘‘Definitely found a little rhythm. There were times out there that Virginia wasn’t even set and we were snapping the ball,’’ Freeman said.

Oregon was coming off a 53-28 victory over UC Davis in its opener, Prukop’s debut. The graduate transfer showed creativity in the first half against Virginia, escaping from the Ducks’ own 1-yard line with a 9-yard run and a pitch to Dwayne Stanford, who scampered 14 yards to get the ball out to the 24.

On the same drive, Prukop hit Allen with a 55-yard pass and the Ducks went on to score on a 2-yard pass to Stanford for a 20-6 lead. Prukop found Allen with a 77-yard pass for a touchdown in the third quarter that put the Ducks up 37-13.

Allen finished fifth in the 110-meter hurdles last month in the Rio Games, becoming just the fourth active college player in the modern era to compete in the Olympics.

‘‘It’s really easy when you have the skill players like that around you,’’ Prukop said. ‘‘It’s really just hats off to those guys, to do what they do.’’

Albert Reid rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown, while Kurt Benkert threw for 193 yards and two scores for Virginia. The Cavaliers fell 37-20 to Richmond in the team’s opener last weekend, spoiling Bronco Mendenhall’s debut as coach.

Big night for Ballage

Despite playing far from the spotlight late Saturday night in a nonconference game against Texas Tech, Arizona State’s Kalen Ballage seemed to burst upon the scene as a possible Heisman Trophy contender when he scored eight touchdowns on 15 — count ’em, 15 — offensive touches in a 68-55 win over the Red Raiders in Tempe, Ariz.

Ballage’s otherworldly offensive performance tied a 26-year-old NCAA record.

The junior running back carried the ball 13 times for 137 yards and seven scores and caught two passes for 48 yards and one touchdown. With 9:11 left to play in the game, his career-long 75-yard run equaled the single-game scoring record set by Howard Griffith of Illinois in 1990.

Arizona State’s 68 points were also its most in a game since 1969.

Afterward, Ballage dragged the Sun Devils’ entire starting offensive line to the postgame news conference — left tackle Evan Goodman, left guard Sam Jones, center A.J. McCollum, right guard Stephon McCray and right tackle Quinn Bailey.

“I really don’t care about [the record],’’ said Ballage, a 6-foot-2-inch, 227-pounder out of Peyton, Colorado. “You can ask these guys, and they’ll tell you straight up, I want to win football games. And that’s what this is about.

“Scoring eight touchdowns, that wasn’t part of the plan at all.’’

Regardless, he did it, Ballage’s night overshadowed the spectacular performances of the quarterbacks on display at Sun Devil Stadium. Arizona State sophomore Manny Wilkins threw for 351 yards, and Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes accounted for 584 yards of offense and six scores, including 540 yards through the air.

For that matter, Ballage even exceeded the production of other elite Week 2 outings, by some measure, including a 610-yard, five-touchdown outburst from Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson in the Cardinals’ 62-28 win at Syracuse on Friday.
