Clemson survived on the road against Texas A&M.Not many upsets for top teams,including Alabama’s win over Arkansas State and LSU’s win over Southeastern Louisiana.Although Michigan State and Arkansas were upset by Arizona State and Colorado State respectively.Colorado defeated Nebraska to renew their rivalry,and spoil Scott Frost’s debut.Penn State crushed Pitt to renew their instate rivalry,and as you can see not many upsets happened in week two but a few.Stanford defeated USC,to end the day.

Notre Dame defeats Michigan,24-17.How will Michigan handle another bad start to a season?Can they pick it up and win a Big 10 championship for the first time in the John Harbaugh era?I don’t think so,the way this is going.

Tua Tagovailoa shined against Louisville as he scored touchdowns on three of the four drives he was in the backfield.Meanwhile,Jalen Hurst ahd one drive and passed for just thirty yards.Alabama defeated Louisville in Orlando,51-14.Tua will start in week two.

LSU,using the ground game defeated Miami in Arlington,33-17.

If Texas finds Sam Ehlinger as a reliable QB,they could be atop the Big 12 with Oklahoma,West Virginia,and TCU.

Note-I will be putting the schedule predictions by myself (IWSTBBACS) and Athlon Sports’ college football pre-season magazine to compare.
These predictions are after twelve games!

The biggest games inside the SEC
1.Auburn at. Alabama
The iron bowl is always the biggest game on the schedule down south no matter the circumstances.We expect a duel between Jalen Hurts/Tua and Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham.

2.Georgia vs. Florida
Georgia and Florida will meet in Jacksonville again.While Georgia is the favorite to win the division,Florida can play spoiler and ruin the dawg’s great season.

3.Auburn at. Mississippi State
This game should be the duel for second place in the SEC West.Don’t expect either side to not give in for a shot to dethrone Alabama as the king of the SEC west.

4.Georgia at. South Carolina
South Carolina is another school that should play spoiler to Georgia on its own turf.South Carolina should be winners of the this game if their defense can step up.

5.Florida at. Mississippi State
Former Mississippi State Head Coach Dan Mullen returns in this cross-divisional match up.Both schools should be at the top of their respective divisions.
