Football rankings and match-ups for Week 2

Week 1 in college football has concluded and there were few surprises. We move on to Week 2.

Here are the rankings and match-ups of the Top 25 (more or less) for Week 2. The rankings are from the AP/Coaches Poll/CBSSports 120. Those in parentheses are from last week prior to play. Not much change from week to week, as you can see. But the CBSSports 120 seems a bit wonky to me, especially the LSU and Utah rankings prior to Week 1. And I still cannot fathom why there isn’t one Big East team on any of the Top 25s.

[Man, that's what I get for going to the rankings too early in the day! Even though the date at the bottom said they were up to date, they weren't. The "official" new rankings didn't come out until late this afternoon. I have, therefore, taken the time to upgrade my own post. I'm too efficient for my own good!]

THE Big Game this week pits #3 USC against #8 Ohio State in Columbus. #18 Notre Dame at Michigan is always a Big Game. And shouldn't #15 Georgia Tech be aware of the Thursday Night Curse as it faces Clemson? Nah.
