Historic Matchups in Week Two
College football is back for its second week. After an opening week that delivered plenty of drama, weather delays, controversies, and surprising upsets, fans are treated to some massive matchups. The schedule is bookended by two games featuring some of the sport's absolute bluest bloods. Ohio State faces off against Texas, while Oklahoma takes on Michigan.
These four programs represent the elite tier of college football. Each of these teams has won more than 900 games in their long histories. Fans are highly excited to see how these powerhouses perform against each other so early in the season.
How the Sooners and Wolverines Got Here
The two teams heading into the Oklahoma and Michigan matchup had very different starts to their seasons. Oklahoma looked incredibly strong. The Sooners, who clearly spent plenty of time hitting the gym over the summer, easily routed UTEP in their opening game.
Michigan had a much more stressful path to victory. The Wolverines survived a close battle with Western Michigan. The game ended with a lot of controversy when officials put one second back on the clock. That extra second allowed a dramatic Hail Mary play to win the game for Michigan.
A Rare Meeting of Giants
Despite their long and storied histories, Oklahoma and Michigan do not play each other very often. In fact, this highly anticipated matchup represents just the third time in history that these two legendary brands will meet on the field.
With both teams boasting more than 900 historical wins, this rare meeting is a major event for college football fans. One team will look to build on a dominant opening win, while the other hopes to look more convincing than they did in their narrow escape last week.
