FRISCO, Texas — After Week 1 failed to produce more than a couple of games worth looking forward to seeing, the second week of the football season tries to make up for it with a packed schedule. As a result, we did all the heavy lifting and narrowed it down to these games worth the time of everyone in the Arkansas Razorback footprint.

ILLINOIS @ KANSAS

Last Week: Bret Bielema's Illini needed a late miracle to survive Toledo, 30-28. The Jayhawks had no issue shutting down Missouri State as quarterback Jason Bean went 22-of-26 for 276 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
Time: Fri., 6:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN2, Fubo TV

VANDERBILT @ WAKE FOREST

Last Week: Both teams got wins as Vandy advanced to 2-0 with a blowout of Alabama A&M. Wake Forest looked shaky in a close win over Elon. The Commodores are looking to avenge a 45-25 loss in Nashville last year.
Time: Sat., 10 a.m.
TV: ACCN, Fubo TV

#10 NOTRE DAME @ NC STATE

Last Week: Notre Dame put up 557 yards of offense against Tennessee State to stay undefeated. NC State also stayed undefeated. The Wolfpack broke out a powerful running game and staunch passing defense to smother UConn, 24-14.
Time: Sat., 11 a.m.
TV: ABC, Fubo TV

NEBRASKA @ #22 COLORADO

Last Week: It was not a good look for the Nebraska offense. The Cornhuskers only managed 10 points in a pedestrian 13-10 loss to Minnesota. They now travel to Boulder for Colorado's home opener. If the Buffaloes game against TCU is any indication, Nebraska will need to find five times as much offense if it hopes to slow down the Sanders express in Colorado.
Time: Sat., 11 a.m.
TV: FOX, Fubo TV

UNLV @ #2 MICHIGAN

Last Week: Michigan respects Barry Odom's UNLV team so little that Jim Harbaugh is taking the day off. The Rebels looked good in their debut. UNLV blitzed Bryant, 44-14 to get the Odom tenure off to a strong start. The Harbaugh-less Wolverines made short work of East Carolina 30-3.
Time: Sat., 2:30 p.m.
TV: CBS, Fubo TV

#20 OLE MISS @ #24 TULANE

Last Week: The Rebels make a rare trip to New Orleans for a throwback SEC match-up of Top 25 teams. Ole Miss put up 667 yards while averaging nearly a first down per play in a 73-7 bombing of hapless Mercer. Meanwhile, Tulane got off to a hot start and never looked back in a 37-17 win over South Alabama.
