Updated Point Spreads For Big Ten Games in Week 2

All 14 Big Ten teams are in action in Week 2 of the college football season, and there are no conference showdowns this week. But there are still some big-time matchups, and on Saturday we get two top-15 matchups in nonconference games for the first time in 27 years when No. 12 Oregon plays at No. 3 Ohio State, and No. 10 Iowa travels to Ames to take on cross-state rival Iowa State, who's ranked No. 9 in the country.

Iowa and Iowa State have never played each other before when both were ranked inside the top-10. In all 68 matchups, it's also the first time that both teams were ranked, period. So this is, without question, the biggest game ever in this rivalry.

Iowa beat No. 17 Indiana early, and the Hawkeyes are the only team in the country to open the season with back-to-back games against ranked teams.

Oregon has probably been the Pac-12's best team in the past decade, but they've had very little success against top-five teams away from home. All time, the Ducks are just 1-25 all-time on the road against top-five teams.

Here are the updated point spreads as of Thursday morning, with the games listed in order of excitement level:
