Texas and Michigan highlight the Week 2 slate in a marquee Big Ten vs. SEC matchup from the Big House in a meeting loaded with playoff implications, especially as the Longhorns prepare to embark on their debut season as members of an always-loaded SEC. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Now, as the Week 2 schedule is set to get underway today, let's take one last look at our updated game picks for the biggest matchups on the docket this Saturday. <h2> College football Week 2 picks for today </h2> Percentage predictions are courtesy of College Football Power Index <h2> Texas at Michigan </h2> Texas: 73.8% Michigan: 26.2% College Football HQ picks ... Texas. Quinn Ewers has the clear edge at quarterback and his receivers will get the better of Michigan's quality defensive backs in time as the Wolverines' offense fails to generate momentum. <ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/texas-longhorns-vs-michigan-wolverines-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Texas vs. Michigan prediction </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/texas-vs-michigan-football-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Michigan vs. Texas score picks by expert model </a></li></ul> - <h2> Arkansas at Oklahoma State </h2> Oklahoma State: 56.1% Arkansas: 43.9% <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> College Football HQ picks ... Oklahoma State. Arkansas put on a show against a SWAC team last week and could find some gaps in the Cowboys' defense, but Ollie Gordon is working behind a strong line and alongside a veteran quarterback with targets to throw at the Hogs. <ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/arkansas-razorbacks-vs-oklahoma-state-cowboys-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Arkansas vs. Oklahoma State prediction </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/arkansas-vs-oklahoma-state-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Cowboys vs. Razorbacks score picks by expert model </a></li></ul> - <h2> Kansas State at Tulane </h2> Kansas State: 55.4% Tulane: 44.6% College Football HQ picks ... Kansas State. Expect a defensive struggle that's close at first with Tulane playing host, but Avery Johnson pulls away in the second half. <ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/kansas-state-vs-tulane-football-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Kansas State vs Tulane score picks by expert model </a></li></ul><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> - <h2> Iowa State at Iowa </h2> Iowa: 71.5% Iowa State: 28.5% College Football HQ picks ... Iowa. We'll try not to overreact to the Hawkeyes' offensive showing in the opener, but it did show a willingness, and an ability, to air the ball out and complement a strong ground attack. But the Cyclones do have some pieces who can keep this close, too. <ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/iowa-hawkeyes-vs-iowa-state-cyclones-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Iowa vs. Iowa State prediction </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/iowa-vs-iowa-state-football-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Hawkeyes vs. Cyclones score picks by expert model </a></li></ul> - <h2> Tennessee vs. NC State </h2> Tennessee: 88.1% NC State: 11.9% College Football HQ picks ... Tennessee. Both these offenses can test the deeper field with solid quarterback play and top-flight receiving skill, but the Volunteers have a decided edge applying pressure up front and protecting their rushing attack. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/tennessee-volunteers-vs-nc-state-wolfpack-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Tennessee vs. NC State prediction </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/tennessee-vs-nc-state-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Vols vs. Wolfpack score picks by expert model </a></li></ul> - <h2> App State at Clemson </h2> Clemson: 81.6% App State: 18.4% College Football HQ picks ... Clemson. That great offense fans have been waiting for may never come, but there should be enough tools in the chest to get around the Mountaineers' defenders, and the Tiger defense will contain a good attack led by quarterback Joey Aguilar. <ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/clemson-vs-app-state-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Clemson vs. App State score picks by expert model </a></li></ul><h2> Boise State at Oregon </h2> Oregon: 79.6% Boise State: 20.4% College Football HQ picks ... Oregon. Ashton Jeanty will test this Ducks front as the Boise State back is one of college football's top players anywhere, but Oregon should find a groove offensively. If it doesn't, there will be questions ahead of the Big Ten schedule. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><ul><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/oregon-ducks-vs-boise-state-broncos-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Oregon vs. Boise State prediction </a></li><li><a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/oregon-vs-boise-state-score-prediction" rel="nofollow"> Ducks vs. Broncos score picks by expert model </a></li></ul> More ... <a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/college-football-picks-against-the-spread-week-2-games" rel="nofollow"> College football Week 2 picks against the spread </a> - More college football from SI: <a href="https://www.si.com/college-football/rankings" rel="nofollow"> Top 25 Rankings </a> | <a href="https://www.si.com/college-football/schedule" rel="nofollow"> Schedule </a> | <a href="https://www.si.com/college/college-football/teams" rel="nofollow"> Teams </a> Follow College Football HQ: <a href="https://si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq" rel="nofollow"> Bookmark </a> | <a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-rankings" rel="nofollow"> Rankings </a> | <a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-picks" rel="nofollow"> Picks </a> This article was originally published on www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq as <a href="https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/picks/college-football-picks-week-2-games-today?utm_source=RSS" rel="nofollow"> College football picks for Week 2 top games today </a> . </div></body>
