Expect teams like Oklahoma, UCLA, LSU, Notre Dame, and Ole Miss to drop in the rankings and teams like USC, and UNC could possibly drop out of the top 25.
My top 3 games for week 2:
Iowa State @ #17 Iowa
9/10 7:30pm BTN
I picked this game strictly because it's a rivalry matchup. I expect Iowa to blow Iowa State to pieces this year.
#19 Louisville @ Syracuse
9/9 8:00pm ESPN2
I chose this game because it's another rivalry matchup. I think Louisville pulls out a win but I think Syracuse gets on the board quite a few times.
#9 Tennessee vs Virginia Tech
9/10 8:00pm ABC
The Vols and the Hokies collide at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday in the Battle at Bristol. The Vols looking to bounce back from an awful week 1 performance (although it was a win) where the defense was flat, and the offense didn't get into it until the 4th quarter. The Hokies look to start 2-0 after a week 1 win against Liberty where quarterback Jerod Evans tossed for 221 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Week 2 kicks off when Louisville and Syracuse play at 8:00pm on ESPN2 on Friday, September 9th.
