  • BookMaker.eu The Duke Blue Devils will attempt to take down the Wake Forest Demon Deacons for the fifth straight time when the ACC rivals cross paths in Week 2 Saturday afternoon. The Dookies toyed with North Carolina Central last week rolling up 535 total yards en route to the home win and cover, while the Deacs could have possibly lost to the Tulane Green Wave if not for the “Clawfense” once again masking the deficiencies of the offense.This matchup in Week 2 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Wallace Wade Stadium.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The No. 23 Baylor Bears were definitely glad to put the worst offseason in program history and get back out on the field. After a scandal that rocked the university to its foundation, the school cut ties, eventually, with everyone in a position of power that was involved including Art Briles. Briles was the best coach in school history and replacing him will be no easy matter. Interim coach Jim Grobe led the Bears to an easy victory over Northwestern State last week, but will face a tougher test when the SMU Mustangs come to Waco in Week 2 College Football action.Kickoff for this regular season Week 2 game is set for Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. ET at McLane Stadium on FS1.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Arkansas Razorbacks averted disaster with a one-point win over Louisiana Tech in its regular season opener. The caliber of play will need to be much higher if they have a chance at springing the upset on the TCU Horned Frogs in Week 2 of the regular season.TCU also didn’t perform impressively in its opener but came away with a win over South Dakota State. The Horned Frogs will be at home for this one and have a high-powered offense that is expected to emerge victorious.Kickoff for this regular season Week 1 game is set for Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 7 p.m. ET at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.... 

  • BookMaker.eu In a wild first week of college football, one thing remained constant. The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide were one of the few top-ranked teams that lived up to expectations and then some. Alabama showed once again why it is the hardest team in the country to beat and should be a unanimous No. 1 in the polls after its performance. For College Football Week 2, Alabama will face a different test in the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.Kickoff for this regular season Week 2 game is set for Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium on ESPN2.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Iowa State Cyclones had a lot of optimism coming into the season under new head coach Matt Campbell, but there were questions marks surrounding an offensive line that only returned one player with experience as a starter. That concern ended up being a very real fear in the season opener, as the Cyclones could get nothing going on the ground and dropped a contest to small-school Northern Iowa.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Tennessee Volunteers were sweating bullets in their regular season opener as the country watched Appalachian State push them to the brink. Tennessee eked out an overtime victory and hopes that isn’t a harbinger of things to come.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Fans of the Buckeyes will be waiting with bated breath to see what Urban Meyer has in store for an encore after he bludgeoned the team that gave him his first head coaching job 77-10 last week. Unfortunately for the up and coming Tulsa Golden Hurricane, their up next on the Week 2 docket for an Ohio State Buckeyes squad looking to score style points before next week’s big tilt with the Sooners.... 

  • BookMaker.eu AAC action is set to go in Week 2 when the UConn Huskies pack their bags for Annapolis where the Navy Midshipmen will look to host them for the first time as conference rivals. The visitors bring the more experienced team into this matchup, but Ken Niumatalolo has built a heck of a program at the Naval Academy and will be ready to extend his teams two game win streak in the recent series.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The USC Trojans certainly looked the part of the AP Poll’s No. 20 ranked team through one quarter of play against top ranked Alabama last Saturday night. That’s where the fun ended unfortunately, as the Crimson Tide toyed with their Pac-12 opponent the rest of the way ultimately turning the game into a one-sided laugher. Now Clay Helton’s kids have to regroup quickly in Week 2 against a sound Utah State team that has the rushing attack to add to the Trojans misery.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Nebraska got the benefit of running up against a Fresno State team in its home opener that made wholesale changes on both sides of the ball in the offseason. It still took them until the fourth quarter to be able to put some serious separation between themselves and the Bulldogs on the scoreboard. They don’t have that advantage this week with a game Wyoming club paying Lincoln a visit with the hope of building off last week’s overtime win against Northern Illinois.This matchup in Week 2 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 12 p.m. ET at Memorial Stadium.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Army had only won two of its last five season openers. Each of those triumphs came in the comforts of their own stadium. But last week, the Black Knights did what the pointspread said was unfathomable by going into Temple and handling the Owls with ease 28-13 as 14.5 point underdogs. They’ll look to start a season 2-0 for the first time in ages on Saturday afternoon in their home opener against a Rice team that got waxed every way imaginable in their road opener.This contest in Week 2 of the regular season will go down Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 12 p.m. ET at Michie Stadium.... 

  • BookMaker.eu 16 years is a long time to go without playing your biggest in-state rival, but it’s been that long since the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Pittsburgh Panthers have squared off. These programs seem to be in about the same place at this point, but while Pitt is happy to be an 8-win team every season, Penn State is anxious to be in this spot and James Franklin is on the hot seat. College Football Week 2 doesn’t have many exciting storylines, but this is certainly one of them.Kickoff for this regular season Week 2 game is set for Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 12 p.m.ET at Heinz Field on ESPN.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The East Carolina Pirates have had a reputation for being giant killers over the last few seasons. East Carolina has knocked off Virginia Tech in each of the last two seasons and before that, knocked off North Carolina as part of a home and home in 2013 and 2014. That kind of record against ACC foes would scare most teams away from scheduling them, but not the North Carolina State Wolfpack who travel to Greenville in College Football Week 2.This matchup in Week 2 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2016,at 12 p.m. ET at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on ESPNU.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The buzz surrounding the No. 19 Louisville Cardinals has only intensified after their performance in the season opener. Lamar Jackson was one of the stars of the week thanks to eight first-half touchdowns against FBS newcomer Charlotte in a 56-point rout. Now, the Cardinals will look to build on that momentum with a win in its first conference game of the season. Louisville will take on the Syracuse Orange in College Football Week 2 on Friday.This matchup in Week 2 of the regular season will take place on Friday, September 9, 2016,at 8 p.m. ET at the Carrier Dome on ESPN2.... 

  • BookMaker.eu T. Boone Pickens almost saw his alma mater get to the College Football Playoff last season after a 10-0 start. The No. 21 Oklahoma State Cowboys rose to No. 4 in the polls, but then lost their last two regular season games to Baylor and Oklahoma and instead had to settle for a New Year’s Six Bowl. Hopes are high in Stillwater again this season despite a brutal road schedule, but before conference play starts, the Cowboys have to get through non-conference play unscathed. In Week 2 college football, they will host the team they opened the season with last year, the Central Michigan Chippewas.This matchup in Week 2 of the regular season will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2016,at 12 p.m. ET at Boone Pickens Stadium on FS1.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Football at a NASCAR track? For the first time ever this week, College GameDay will be live at a NASCAR track as Tennessee and Virginia Tech square off at Bristol Motor Speedway. Aside from that, College Football Week 2 looks remarkably barren but these are usually the weeks where crazy stuff happens. After an action filled Week 1, what does Week 2 have in store for us?... 

  • BookMaker.eu Though both the Cincinnati Bearcats and Purdue Boilermakers secured victories in their season debuts, neither was one each would confidently thump their chests about. Both offenses scuffled when you really dig into the numbers, and while a win is still a win, there’s still much work to be done for both clubs if in fact each is to record their second win of the season and take a step closer towards becoming bowl eligible.... 

  • BookMaker.eu After a disastrous 2015 season, the Maryland Terrapins started their season right with a win in their opener. The Terps cruised to a 52-13 win over FCS Howard in new coach DJ Durkin’s debut and held the Bison scoreless through the first three quarters of the game. Maryland has a more difficult opponent in College Football Week 2 against the Florida International Golden Panthers. If Maryland gets a win this week, it will need just one more to match its win total from last year.... 

  • BookMaker.eu After going winless a year ago, the Central Florida Golden Knights were able to crank out a win against South Carolina State in Scott Frost’s head coaching debut. That’s all good and dandy, but the overall effort was far from pristine and now they have to travel to the Big House in Week 2 where the Michigan Wolverines just dominated and nearly shutout Hawaii in their home debut. Jim Harbaugh looks to be out for style points before the schedule gets tougher, and that can only mean bad news for th... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Northern Illinois Huskies dipped under the double-digit win plateau in 2015, but with a returning quarterback, hopes to push back up again this season. The start shouldn’t be too tough as they take on the Wyoming Cowboys, who are coming off a poor season and are breaking in a new signal-caller. Northern Illinois may be on the road but it still enters this Week 1 regular season matchup as a comfortable favorite.This contest in Week 1 of the regular season will go down Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 10:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Week 1 non-conference clash between the Ole Miss Rebels and the Florida State Seminoles is technically taking place at a neutral site this year, but the stadium in Orlando is more than 500 miles closer to Florida State so the Seminoles could definitely have the advantage.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Both USC and Alabama will be looking to build upon impressive winning streaks in season openers with the Trojans looking to rattle off their 19th straight and the Crimson Tide their 15th. Each of these teams has glaring question marks entering Week 1. The defending champs lost a number of players from last year’s championship team to graduation and the NFL, while the Pac-12 reps have a fresh new coaching staff in place. Regardless, this is a matchup of two of the most athletically gifted teams in the country, and it’s one you’ll certainly want to tune into Saturday night.Watch this regular season Week 1 matchup live on Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 8 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Jim McElwain laid the ground work for getting the Gators program back into the upper echelon of the SEC last season by leading Florida to its first outright division title since 2009. Still, the memory of a three-game skid that concluded with a 41-7 trouncing at the hands of Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl put a damper on the overall effort. With 11 starters and depth returning from that team, the Gators will be out to turn the page quickly and the sacrificial lamb first up on the Week 1 menu is a Massachusetts team that no longer has Tajae Sharpe to reel in backdoor covering touchdown passes.This contest in Week 1 of the regular season will go down Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Surprisingly, there’s not a lot of buzz surrounding the No. 16 UCLA Bruins this season. UCLA has the best sophomore quarterback in the country in Josh Rosen and he shined for most of the season. He and the Bruins are field-goal underdogs in Week 1 College Football action against the Texas AM Aggies and will be looking to prove the oddsmakers wrong. Whether or not they do that or not, depends in large part on just how good Rosen plays.Watch this regular season Week 1 matchup live on Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 3:30 p.m. ET at Kyle Field. This game will be broadcast on CBS.... 

  • BookMaker.eu It’s make or break time for Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats. For the last two seasons, Kentucky has had a hot start and two wins against conference opponents before the wheels fell off in mid-October. Kentucky will be hard-pressed to match that hot start against its College Football Week 1 opponent, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. Southern Miss had one of the best offenses in the country last season and almost toppled Nebraska. Kentucky will have to be careful in this one.Watch this regular season Week 1 matchup live on Saturday, September 3, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Commonwealth Stadium. This game will be broadcast on ESPNU....
