Can the Pac-12 bounce back from a shaky opening weekend? Who will win a top-10 clash in Ames?
College football Week 1 is in the books, and an intriguing opening weekend saw familiar faces dominate and others stumble. Now, the stage is set for a top-10 in-state clash in Week 2, with No. 9 Iowa State hosting No. 10 Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium in a hugely anticipated edition of the Cy-Hawk rivalry.
Intrigue elsewhere includes a pair of Pac-12 teams taking on Big Ten foes, as the Western Conference looks to bounce back from a shaky opening weekend when Oregon heads to Ohio State and Washington travels to Michigan. Plus, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 15 Texas and No. 21 Utah look to avoid road upsets, and No. 22 Miami looks to rebound from an Alabama blowout against always-dangerous Appalachian State.
