A Clemson Football fan's TV guide to College Football week 2

Week two of the regular season holds College Football Playoff implications for Clemson football and a host of other programs across the country. Here’s a TV guide to help you stay on top of the best matchups this weekend has to offer.

The 2017 college football season started off with a bang with FCS, Liberty knocking off Baylor in Matt Rhule’s debut, and Howard pulling off the biggest upset in the history of the sport vs. UNLV.

Then of course, there was UCLA’s 35 point comeback vs. Texas A&M, which could also be described as Texas A&M’s debacle at the Rosebowl vs. UCLA. Really it depends on your perspective, either way it was shocking.

Despite the fireworks in week one, week two offers much more intriguing matchups across the board. Here are the games to keep an eye on this weekend.

There are a multitude of powerhouse programs with CFB Playoff aspirations facing off this weekend. Stanford and USC in particular are also battling for PAC-12 supremacy. The stakes couldn’t be any higher, which will make for some great football.

Next: Is Clemson the favorite in the ACC with Francois' out for the year?

If I had to predict the game of the week, I’d say Stanford vs. USC. This is going to be a physical matchup between two rosters loaded with future NFL players. The Cardinal have returned to form, after a disastrous 2016 campaign. As such, this is going to be a knock-down-drag-out battle for Sam Darnold and USC.
