With a series of games already in the books, the second week of the college football season has arrived. There are not as many high-level battles as there were seven days ago, but that does not make the Saturday showdown less serious for a number of teams with a conference title and aspirations to the playoffs. playoffs.
Let's take a look at the biggest games of the Saturday schedule, as well as our predictions of what will happen in these contests. Our college football experts from CBS Sports have chosen every game, directly or indirectly, which gives you ample opportunity to decide how to make your choice before kick-off.
All Eastern times
UCLA at No. 6 Oklahoma (-30.5) – 13h on FOX: If we learned anything during week 1, it's that rebuilding Chip Kelly in Westwood will take a lot of time. In a game like this against a high octane attack, the Bruins will have to score 40 points to get at least a boost. After the offensive struggles last weekend, this does not happen. Kyler Murray will put 300 yards in the air and 100 on the floor, Rodney Anderson will find the end zone twice and the Sooners will roll – but will not cover. Choose: UCLA (+29.5) – Barrett Sallee
No. 3 Georgia to South Carolina (+10.5) – 3:30 pm on CBS: South Carolina faced Georgia last year in Athens without Samuel Deebo, one of the most explosive players in college football. The story is repeated Saturday afternoon. Gamecocks quarterback Jake Bentley will be able to find Samuel and Bryan Edwards, while Rico Dowdle will do enough to ease the pressure, and the Gamecocks will have a chance to recover in the fourth quarter. Expect that Jake Fromm is playing smart, that the defense is just long enough and Andre Swift to delay it – but not to cover. Choice: South Carolina (+10.5) – Barrett Sallee
State of Iowa to Iowa (-3.5) – 17 pm on FOX: Every two years, it seems like this game comes down to a goal on the pitch. That was the case in 2011, 12 12, & 14 and … 17 … and the Hawkeyes are 1-3 in these games (and could have been 0-4). However, the return of these suspended players is important for Iowa. This will be enough to get the coverage. Choice: Iowa -4 – Ben Kercheval

No. 2 Clemson Texas A & M (+12.5) – 19h on ABC: I think this is turning into an assertion game for Clemson, similar to his win against Virginia Tech at Blacksburg in 2017. Both of Dabo Swinney's defeats in his last nine games against SEC have been played at College Football Playoff. At the helm of Jimbo Fisher is stuck at four, he is currently on a winning streak. Pick: Clemson -12.5 – Patterson Chip
No. 13 Penn State Pittsburgh (+8.5) – 8 pm on ABC: If Penn State had won comfortably last weekend, I would be more inclined to take Pitt – and believe me, I understand if you want – but part of me wonders if we will not see a much more focused Nittany effort Lions. The near-loss against the Appalachian State will serve as a warning. Pick: Penn State -8.5 – Tom Fornelli
No. 17 USC to No. 10 Stanford (-4.5) – 20:30 on FOX: One thing the USC has in its defense is another who can defend against J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and the rest of the Stanford receivers. The Trojans are going to need a lot of their running game to make life easier for JT Daniels, and I think the Stanford defense will eliminate some of the easy hurdles he faced against UNLV. In what I think – and bettors see – as a draw game between these two powers of the Pac-12, I will fly with the local team. Choice: Stanford -4.5 – Patterson Chip
