Ohio State travels to Texas for top-five clash in Week 2
Week 2 of the college football season features a No. 1 versus No. 3 matchup between Ohio State and Texas, along with several other top-25 games.
The second week of the college football season opens with a top-five meeting as No. 1 Ohio State visits No. 3 Texas. The game marks the first head-to-head between the two highest-ranked teams this year. Other notable top-25 contests include No. 10 Oklahoma at No. 24 Michigan, No. 12 Alabama beginning SEC play at Kentucky, and No. 15 Brigham Young facing Arizona in an early Big 12 test. Analysts from the publication provided their predictions for the week’s matchups.
"We expect Ohio State's offense to challenge Texas' defense, but the Longhorns have the home-field advantage," said a senior college football analyst.
"Alabama's early SEC game at Kentucky could be a bellwether for the conference race," noted another expert.
The preview also highlighted the potential for upsets across the US LBM Coaches Poll top 25, though Week 1 saw few surprises.
