After a fun Week 1 with lots of big showdowns to go along with a boatload of brutal blowouts, the FBS vs FCS games start to slow down, the conference games start to slowly kick in, and the season starts to really get rolling. The main national storyline might be the start of the NFL season - no Thursday night college football games this week - but Saturday is all about the massive slate with a little bit for everyone. Below is the schedule for each conference along with the game previews, coming throughout the week, betting lines, and how to watch each matchup.
