College football games today: Week 2 schedule for Saturday

Week 2 of the college football schedule gets underway today as the Saturday slate of games kicks off around the country, as some teams are already watching their playoff hopes slip away, while others are hoping to make an important statement in some notable non-conference matchups.

It begins with a marquee matchup between college football blue-bloods as No. 3 Texas goes on the road to tangle with No. 10, defending national champion Michigan in a huge SEC vs. Big Ten game that is an important litmus test for both programs in the early going.

We'll also see our first rivalry game of the season as the Cy-Hawk Trophy matchup kicks off between a ranked Iowa team hoping its newfound offensive prowess wasn't a one-game wonder as it goes up against Big 12 challenger Iowa State in the afternoon.

Tennessee and NC State meet in a notable SEC vs. ACC tilt featuring two ranked teams, and each program hoping to put on a good show for the selection committee as both have College Football Playoff hopes and want to prove they can compete in their respective conferences.

Here's your look at the complete schedule for the biggest college football games on today as the Saturday slate takes over across the country.
