No. 1 Ohio State’s visit to No. 5 Texas headlines the Week 2 college football schedule, with Texas listed as a 1.5-point favourite in lines reported by CBS Sports.

The fixture is a rematch of Ohio State’s 14–7 home victory over Texas last season. Both teams reportedly won comfortably in Week 1, by a combined 105 points.

No. 10 Oklahoma is listed as a 5.5-point favourite at No. 16 Michigan. CBS Sports reported that the line had shifted towards Oklahoma after Michigan struggled against Western Michigan, while Oklahoma’s defence shut out UTEP in Week 1.

Other reported lines include Iowa at 14.5 points ahead of Iowa State, Texas A&M at 15.5 points ahead of Arizona State, Oregon at 22.5 points ahead of Oklahoma State, and Alabama at 10.5 points ahead of Kentucky.

Oregon enters its road game after a 34–27 win over Boise State, while Oklahoma State lost 24–10 to Tulsa. Iowa has not won a home game against Iowa State since 2019.

The figures are reported betting lines rather than results or predictions. CBS Sports did not identify the bookmaker or specify how long the lines would remain current.
