Early action brings us an SEC vs. Big Ten battle from the Big House, and one with plenty of questions for both sides: can Oklahoma finally take the next step forward for an offense that failed to generate much momentum a year ago, and will Michigan, recently dropped from the AP poll despite winning its first game, muster any rhythm of its own against a Sooner defense that should be very elite?

Afternoon Week 2 college football schedule

Kentucky and first-year head coach Will Stein are coming off an impressive debut with a lot of optimism heading into their SEC debut against a Crimson Tide roster that bodes an inexperienced but highly versatile quarterback in Keelon Russell.
