Everything you think you know about college football through two weeks is about set to change. Each of the Top 3 teams in America are on the road this weekend, and it would take a brave man to suggest that all three are going to end up with zeroes in their loss column by the time the week is said and done with since they're all playing against teams ranked in the Top 20. Throw in another eight of the Top 25 going away from home, and you've got the makings of a weekend where everything is surely going to change.

Games of the Week
Florida State at Louisville – Saturday 12 p.m. ET
Most just assume that the winner of the FSU/Clemson game in November is going to win the ACC Atlantic Division, then go on to win the ACC title, then go to the College Football Playoff. But maybe Louisville will have a thing or two to say about that.
Lamar Jackson has been a beast this season thus far with 13 total touchdowns in just two games, and he's going to be the biggest star FSU has had to face thus far on the young season. The Seminoles still have problems for sure along their offensive and defensive lines, and if they don't shore those up, this is going to be a very, very tough game against a Top 10 team.
This game is about respect for Louisville for sure, and if it can get it, look out. The ACC might legitimately have three title contenders instead of just two.
Ohio State at Oklahoma – Saturday 7:30 p.m. ET
It's officially panic time for Oklahoma. The Sooners didn't look good in a loss to Houston in Week 1, and after a Week 2 win over Louisiana Monroe, Bob Stoops was awfully critical of his team and the disappointing mistakes that it made in spite of the 42-point win.
Now isn't a good time to be facing Ohio State. The Buckeyes have allowed just six points on defense this season and have scored three defensive touchdowns themselves, and their offense just keeps on rolling even though Ezekiel Elliott and so many others are gone from last year's club.
Sure, this game is in Norman, but is certainly feels like there's a big divide between these two teams in terms of talent. The Sooners are never dogs at home, but in this case, they're not only getting points, but they clearly should be in our eyes as well. A loss on Saturday, and any hope of a return trip to the CFP will already be dead for OU.
