College Football Week 2: No. 1 Ohio State-No. 4 Texas Rekindle Big Ten-SEC Supremacy Debate
Ohio State kept the No. 1 spot after a 56-3 opening win and will face Texas in a top-five showdown Saturday night.
Ohio State maintained its No. 1 ranking in the AP poll released Tuesday afternoon. The top-ranked Buckeyes now prepare for a heavyweight matchup at Texas on Saturday.
Ball State fell to the Buckeyes 56-3 last Saturday in the season opener. Ohio State now looks ahead to face Texas, seeking to extend its dominance.
The showdown features elite offensive talent: quarterbacks Julian Sayin and Arch Manning, receivers Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman, and running backs Bo Jackson and Hollywood Smothers. Both rosters showcase star power.
Texas enters as a 1.5-point favorite and seeks its first win over Ohio State since 2008. Victory would serve as a pivotal litmus test for conference supremacy and College Football Playoff seeding.
Other major matchups this week include No. 11 Oklahoma at Michigan and Mississippi State at Minnesota. These contests will further shape the emerging conference hierarchy.
