College football scores, games, highlights: Texas-Michigan, Colorado-Nebraska and more

It’s time for our first top 10 duel of the season.

Week 2 features a game between two of last season’s four playoff teams when Texas visits Michigan, a game in Eugene that could be a preview of the first round of the College Football Playoff, and an intriguing matchup between old Big 12 rivals looking to make a bowl game this season.

Scroll down to follow all the action live.

Time: 12:00 p.m. ET | TV: Fox | Line: Texas -7 | Total: 42.5

Yes, the defending champions are underdogs at home. The Longhorns looked fantastic in their Week 1 win over Colorado State. Michigan, on the other hand, relied on its defense in a 30-10 win over Fresno State that was much closer than the final score.

The biggest question for Michigan is the passing game. Can quarterbacks Davis Warren and Alex Orji take the pressure off the Michigan defense with some explosive plays?

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Nebraska -6.5 | Total: 55.5

The Huskers showed serious signs of life in Week 1, as true freshman QB Dylan Raiola had a fantastic college debut. Colorado struggled to beat North Dakota State, but got standout performances from two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

There will certainly be a lively crowd in Lincoln and the game should be a real treat.

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Host: Tennessee -9.5 | Total: 60.5

Both teams won against FCS opponents in Week 1, but the victories were drastically different. NC State struggled mightily against Western Carolina. Tennessee overran Chattanooga and quickly made it clear that the Mocs had no chance.

Given Tennessee’s passing attack, NC State’s chances depend on its defense playing significantly better than it did in Week 1.

Time: 10:00 p.m. ET | TV: Peacock | Line: Oregon -19.5 | Total: 61.5

Both teams had more trouble than expected against their opponents in Week 1. Boise State needed a 21-point run to defeat Georgia Southern, and Oregon pulled out a narrow 24-14 win over Idaho.

Ashton Jeanty rushed for 267 yards and six touchdowns in the Broncos’ opening game and will surely be the focal point of Oregon’s defense. New Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel completed 41 of 49 passes in Week 1 but averaged just 7.6 yards per attempt.
