Here are the TV times, networks and livestreaming opportunities for all FBS games Thursday-Saturday. All times are EDT.
Week 2 brings with it another round of early-season nonconference games – and lots of them. It also means more games between Power 5 schools and opponents outside the Power 5, and in some cases, far outside.
All teams ranked in the Top 25 are playing this week, but only two games feature a head-to-head matchup: No. 10 Texas at No. 3 Alabama and No. 20 Ole Miss at No. 22 Tulane. Overall, 23 games include ranked teams.
Here is the schedule this week for all 10 FBS conferences and the FBS independents:
