Week 1 around college football was chock-full of marquee matchups, but Week 2 is a bit of a downer in that regard with one game standing apart as ranked Pac-12 foes USC and Stanford meet on the “Farm” in what could be a Pac-12 Championship Game preview.

The Cardinal are 4.5-point favorites despite going 0-2 against the Trojans last year, losing in Los Angeles and then in the Pac-12 title game. Both schools won their season openers. Stanford beat San Diego State despite just 29 yards rushing on 18 carries by preseason Heisman favorite Bryce Love. Southern Cal beat UNLV as true freshman J.T. Daniels looked polished in throwing for 282 yards and a touchdown.

Another good matchup is Clemson at Texas A&M. The two head coaches, the Tigers’ Dabo Swinney and the Aggies’ Jimbo Fisher, know each other very well from all those Clemson-Florida State wars in the ACC. Fisher left Tallahassee for A&M after last season. Swinney has a bit of a QB controversy on his hands because true freshman Trevor Lawrence outplayed senior starter Kelly Bryant in the opening blowout of cupcake Northwestern State. Swinney says both will play again. Clemson is -12.
