A wild Week 1 of the college football season is in the books, but there is no time to wallow in defeat or bask in the glory of a win, as the next game on the schedule always come around quickly.

What we learned from Week 1 is that Florida State is in real trouble, the Georgia Bulldogs look as good as advertised, and that the battle for playoff spots is going to be a ton of fun to watch this season.

My Analysis of Top 5 College Football Games to Bet On This Week

After opening against some bigger teams, many of the top teams are going against smaller schools this weekend, but we do still have some good games to look forward to in Week 2, so let’s get to it.

Texas Longhorns -330 at Michigan Wolverines +255

Make no mistake about it, this is the top game on the Week 2 schedule. Texas will almost certainly be thinking about the big games to come in the SEC, but few will be as big as this one, even though it is out of conference.

The Longhorns rolled in Week 1, as expected, while the Wolverines required some effort to finally put Fresno away.

A win for either team here is going to look very good on the resume.

Baylor Bears +450 at Utah Utes -649

We don’t always get conference games this early in the season, but this looks to be an excellent Big 12 matchup.

Baylor opened their season with a comfortable win, as did the Utes, but it is Utah that many people expect to be in the hunt for a playoff spot this season.

They come in as the #11 ranked team in the nation and will be looking to burst their way into the top 10, which they might just do with a win here.

Iowa State Cyclones +112 at Iowa Hawkeyes -137

Everyone loves a rivalry game, and we have a beauty coming our way in Week 2.

The Cyclones will take the short trip across the state to face the Hawkeyes, as they look to build on their opening week win.

The Hawkeyes also won in Week 1, but the reality is that both teams opened the season against much weaker opponents, so this is going to feel like the first real test of the season for both.

Kansas Jayhawks -220 at Illinois Fighting Illini +175

Another good one here, with both teams looking to build on a solid start to the season after dominating wins in Week 1.

Kansas comes into this game ranked in the #19 spot, and while there are certainly bigger games on the horizon, a road win against Illinois is still a result that would be looked upon favorably by the playoff committee.

The same rules apply for Illinois, who might be looking at a top 25 spot with the win here.

Tennessee Volunteers -310 at NC State Wolfpack +240

Both of these teams come into Week 2 sitting in the top 25 teams in the nation, and both could potentially move up the rankings with a win in this one.

Tennessee is a team that many see as a dark horse and a potential challenger in the SEC East, and a win here might well back that up.

The Wolfpack found themselves in a battle in Week 1 before coming away with the win over Western Carolina.

They will need to be a lot better this Saturday.
