Week 2 is a quick turnaround for college football fans. With the Labor Day Weekend games going through Monday night, you don't have much time to recoup before it ramps back up. The five most intriguing games of Week 2, with lines from FanDuel Sportsbook:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Jeff Scott looks at South Florida’s season opener against No. 25 BYU as an opportunity for his team to set the tone for a promising future. Scott is beginning the third season of a rebuild that’s produced just three victories over two years.
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) Pat Chun’s job as the athletic director at a Power Five school calls for publicly exuding optimism. When Washington State was forced to replace its football coach midseason in 2021, some of that optimism waned.
PROVO, Utah (AP) Experience is No. 25 BYU’s biggest strength entering its final season as an independent before joining the Big 12 in 2023. The Cougars return 18 starters from a team that posted 10 wins and finished in the AP Top 25 for a second consecutive season.
Low expectations rarely disappoint. That's not to say your favorite team will fail to live up to the promise that comes with landing a spot in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 college football poll presented by Regions Bank that was released Monday.
