Ohio State faces Texas as college football enters its second week

College football moves into its second week of the 2026 season following a largely upset-free opening round. The headline schedule features the first top-five showdown of the campaign as No. 1 Ohio State travels to face No. 3 Texas. Additional ranked matchups on the slate include No. 10 Oklahoma playing at No. 24 Michigan. Conference play also begins for several programs, with No. 12 Alabama visiting Kentucky and No. 15 Brigham Young hosting Arizona for a Big 12 test. Analysts anticipate increased volatility across the Top 25 as teams navigate early league standings and non-conference challenges. The outcome of these games will likely impact the US LBM Coaches Poll rankings heading into the next phase of the season.
