College Football 2021: Top 3 under-the-radar games to watch in Week 2
By Shane Lunnen
Week 1 had a lot of exciting games and moments. For many schools, it was the first time in nearly two years fans were allowed back into stadiums. I personally experienced Camp Randall Stadium for the first time. The game was great, mostly in the second half, and the fans were really into it. “Jump Around” is quite the spectacle and one of those college football bucket list items.
With Week 1 in the books, it is now time to turn the page to Week 2. While there are not as many top 25 matchups as there were a week ago, it still should be a good enough weekend to veg out on the couch for 12 hours watching nothing but our favorite sport.
FCS schools made their presence felt last week with six FCS over FBS wins, including the big upset of the weekend with Montana defeating the previously 20th ranked Washington Huskies. Can more FCS teams pull off upsets this weekend? The SEC in particular is loaded with four FCS matchups, but in my opinion, I’d rather get these games out earlier in the season as opposed to November.
Week 2 contains some juicy Power Five matchups including Oregon at Ohio State and Iowa and Iowa State. The latter is the first time the Cy-Hawk game will see both teams enter as ranked teams.
Besides those match-ups, there are some other under the radar games fans should keep an eye on this Saturday. Let’s breakdown three of those matchups.
