13 Miami @ 24 Texas A&M<\/strong><\/p>\n Two intriguing games in an otherwise meh week. Oregon has sneaked back into the rankings thanks to a blowout against FCS opposition. They have the chance to recover their pre-season status as potential NY6 Bowl<\/a> candidates with a win here. BYU will be no pushovers though.<\/p>\n Texas A&M lost to Sun Belt opposition last week, and the pre-season talk of them being CFP dark horses is pretty much gone already. A win here will keep them in the rankings. A loss and it is goodbye.<\/p>\n 1 Georgia @ South Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n 6 Oklahoma @ Nebraska<\/strong><\/p>\n 11 Michigan State @ Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n Texas Tech @ 16 NC State<\/strong><\/p>\n 20 Ole Miss @ Georgia Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n 22 Penn St.@ Auburn<\/strong><\/p>\n Some interesting games here headed by a Big Ten SEC clash. Penn State has finally got a little love from the pollsters and a win in Auburn would certainly propel them further. Still, the Tigers are 2-0 and tough to beat at home. This could be one of the week’s better games.<\/p>\n The other one that looks like being a bit competitive is Michigan State at Washington. Ok, it’s been a while since the Huskies last made the CFP playoffs but they tend to compete in the Pac 12 and still count as a good win rankings-wise. They could actually be quite good this year, but both their opening blowout wins have been against FCS opponents. We will learn a lot about both teams after the game is over.<\/p>\n NC State put their opening week poor showing behind them when thrashing FCS Charleston Southern.\u00a0 This week’s opponents Texas Tech knocked off\u00a0 then-ranked Houston last week so this is no gimmie.<\/p>\n It will be a major surprise if either Oklahoma & Ole Miss Lose.<\/p>\n ULM @ 2 Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n Toledo @ 3 Ohio St.<\/strong><\/p>\n UConn @ 4 Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n Louisiana Tech @ 5 Clemson<\/strong><\/p>\n Fresno State @ 7 USC<\/strong><\/p>\n San Diego St. @ 14 Utah<\/strong><\/p>\n Akron @ 15 Tennessee<\/strong><\/p>\n Texas St. @ 17 Baylor<\/strong><\/p>\n USF @ 18 Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n Liberty @ 19 Wake Forest<\/strong><\/p>\n UTSA @ 21 Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n 23 Pittsburgh @ Western Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n Nothing outstanding here with the ranked teams all having winnable games. We can’t see any upsets here but will be keen to see how Texas respond to last week’s heartbreaking loss to Alabama.<\/p>\n Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ 8 Oklahoma State<\/strong><\/p>\n Youngstown St. @ 9 Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n Missouri St. @ 10 Arkansas<\/strong><\/p>\n Only three of these this week due to FCS divisional play now getting underway. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has racked up 124 points in their opening two wins but this is a whole different proposition. They might not get into double figures against the Cowboys.<\/p>\n Missouri State & Youngstown both play in the Missouri Valley Conference, which is arguably the best in the FCS. They are both 2-0 but are unlikely to pose too much of a threat to their SEC opponents<\/p>\n Image: University of College\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n Cal @ Notre Dame<\/strong><\/p>\n Marshall @ Bowling Green<\/strong><\/p>\n Jacksonville State @ Tulsa<\/strong><\/p>\n Marshall beat Notre Dame on the road last week and both have something to prove this week. The Herd probably feel a little aggrieved at not getting ranked following their win, however, a solid follow-up performance will keep them in the pollster’s mind’s eye. Similarly, if Notre Dame can frank the form by snapping their new head coaches 3-game skid then The Herd could be pushing for No 25 next week.<\/p>\nPower Five Clashes<\/h3>\n
