Predictions for every FBS game in Week 2
College football’s 2018 season continues with a busy Week 2 slate that features 78 overall matchups. With the NFL taking center stage on Thursday, Week 2 begins on Friday night with a Texas showdown between TCU and SMU. The intrigue on Saturday’s slate kicks off with Mississippi State visiting Kansas State, Oklahoma hosting UCLA and Arizona traveling to Houston in the first wave of games. The afternoon schedule includes Colorado-Nebraska, Iowa State-Iowa and Georgia at South Carolina. As usual, the night slate isn’t short on interesting matchups. Texas A&M hosts Clemson, Arkansas travels to Colorado State, Northern Illinois hosts Utah, Penn State and Pitt renew their rivalry, and Stanford hosts USC in a key Pac-12 showdown. California at BYU and Michigan State at Arizona State are two late matchups to watch in Week 2.
