In terms of FBS vs. FBS action, the Week 2 college football schedule has a far more condensed schedule compared to Week 1 as the action all unfolds on Friday and Saturday. It’s not short on huge matchups, however. The Saturday schedule is anchored by a pair of top-20 showdowns as No. 16 Michigan tries to regroup after a wild and controversial ending against Western Michigan and hosts No. 10 Oklahoma. And in one of the biggest matchups of the season, No. 5 Texas hosts No. 1 Ohio State. Visit our DraftKings promo code review and get $200 in bonus bets as a new user after $5+ in wagers here:

Football Top college football score predictions for Week 2

One college football score prediction for the Week 2 college football schedule at the best betting apps: The model projects that Oregon beats Oklahoma State 36-18 in a noon ET kickoff in Stillwater, Okla. That college football score prediction makes Oklahoma State (+22.5) the better value against the spread, while the Under 57.5 hits with several points to spare as well.

Both teams are looking to regroup after largely struggling in Week 1. Oregon looked extremely shaky against Boise State at home in Week 1 as that game went down to the wire. 

Oklahoma State, meanwhile, fell at Tulsa, losing 24-10 in the debut for coach Eric Morris. Four turnovers doomed the Cowboys in that one, and the model is projecting a cleaner showing in Week 2 as the Cowboys rally and keep this one more competitive than the line indiciates. See the model’s score predictions for every other matchup here.
