Ty chats with Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times to get the grade for Kalen DeBoer's first season as coach of the Washington Huskies. How was he able to transform the offense so quickly? What was the state of the program after Jimmy Lake's sudden exit? How are the Huskies trying to counter Oregon's recruiting dominance in the Pacific Nortwest?

Week 2 delivered the first truly chaotic Saturday of the 2026 college football season. Texas erased a fourth-quarter deficit to beat Ohio State, Oklahoma State stunned Oregon in Stillwater, and Michigan leaned on its defense to win a rock fight against Oklahoma. We break down what Texas proved in its comeback, what went wrong for Oregon, and what Michigan’s win says about both the Wolverines and Sooners moving forward.

Then we widen the lens on the rest of the weekend with our Spano Meter, checking our excitement and concern levels for BYU, Texas A&M, Arizona State, Alabama, Tennessee, Duke, Illinois, Penn State, Washington, Mississippi State and more. Plus, another loaded batch of Reverbs, our Dude Alerts, and a live run through the AP Top 25 ballot after a week that forced us to rethink plenty of what we thought we knew.

College Football Week 2 is here, and the schedule gets serious in a hurry. The biggest game of the weekend sends No. 1 Ohio State to Austin to face No. 4 Texas in a matchup that already feels like it could shape the College Football Playoff race. We break down the biggest questions on both sides, from Ohio State’s new-look offense and running game to Arch Manning, Texas’ defense and the small margins that could decide one of the best games of the entire season.

Before we get there, Oklahoma heads to the Big House for a fascinating test against Michigan. How much should we read into Michigan’s shaky Week 1 performance? Can Bryce Underwood respond against a much tougher defense, and is Oklahoma ready to take advantage? We also dig into Arizona State-Texas A&M, Oregon-Oklahoma State, Arizona-BYU, Alabama-Kentucky, Tennessee-Georgia Tech, Iowa State-Iowa, Missouri-Kansas and plenty more.

It is one of those Saturdays where you may want to wake up, get moving and make sure you are properly prepared for what is coming. We make our picks, find the best under-the-radar games, lock up a few favorites and identify the window where you absolutely need to be in front of a screen.

College Football Week 2: Ohio State-Texas, Michigan’s Gut Check & Picks for a Loaded Slate

With most of Week 1 in the books, we go back through the games that deserved a longer look after Saturday night’s live reaction show. LSU’s demolition of Clemson is at the center of the conversation. How much of the result was about LSU looking immediately dangerous under Lane Kiffin, and how much should Clemson fans worry about a team that was physically overwhelmed?

We also dig deeper into the fireworks between Ole Miss and Louisville, one of the most entertaining games of the weekend, and spend time on Notre Dame’s 41-13 win over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field. What should we make of the Irish offense after a sluggish start, how much can we learn from Wisconsin’s first half?

From there, we go rapid-fire through some of the other Week 1 performances that caught our attention, including Washington’s Apple Cup win and encouraging starts from Indiana, Florida, UCLA and Mississippi State. We also start looking ahead to a loaded Week 2, with Michigan-Oklahoma, Ohio State-Texas and several other matchups that should tell us much more about what these teams actually are in 2026.
