Week 2 of college football has arrived and there are several appetizing matchups on the menu. Here's the full slate of CFB games on Saturday, Aug. 9.

The college football season is finally underway. Week 1 brought many surprises, from the stunning debut of Coach Prime at Colorado to Duke's majestic victory over Clemson in the Monday night slot. Now that every team has at least one game under their belts, Week 2 figures to be quite informative.

There are no more first-game jitters. There's no more rust to shake off. We're firmly back in the swing of college football and every win counts toward desired bowl berths or the postseason standings.

As expected, Clemson, LSU, and TCU dropped far in the AP top 25 following disastrous Week 1 performances. Meanwhile, there's a ton of potential for movement in the aftermath of Saturday's schedule. While there's one game highlighted on calendars around the country — No. 11 Texas at No. 3 Alabama — those aren't the only ranked teams with a challenge in store.

Here's a rundown of the Saturday, Aug. 9 schedule for your ease of use.

It's hard to ask for a better second week.

Texas and Alabama gave us one of last season's most thrilling games. We could be in for a repeat in 2023, even with new quarterbacks and an entirely new set of expectations for both programs. It's Nick Saban versus Steve Sarkisian, the latter angling to become one of the rare Saban assistants to overcome that particular hurdle.

Before that, Ole Miss and Tulane in the 3:30 slot marks the only other game between two ranked opponents.

It should be an exciting test week for the top 25 newcomers. Is Colorado real, or was last week a fluke? Nebraska has a fair amount of talent on the roster and, just one week ago, would have been viewed as the favorites in that matchup.

Meanwhile, No. 1 UGA has a prime opportunity to instill more confidence in new QB Carson Beck. He got off to a shaky start in Week 1 against UT Martin, a game the Bulldogs didn't dominate to the extent pundits expected. Ball State isn't exactly stiff competition, but it's better to work out the kinks now instead of later.

The evening slate will provide all-day football watchers with a nice endcap. Auburn-Cal and Stanford-USC both figure to offer plenty of entertainment, with Heisman favorite Caleb Williams due for another remarkable performance.
