How to watch college football’s Week 2: Your watch grid guide

Game times, TV/streaming info, and the best games to watch in each time slot.

College football’s Week 2 schedule is strange for a few reasons. Hurricane Irma has led to the cancelation of five games involving Florida teams (Memphis-UCF, Miami-Arkansas State, Northern Colorado-Florida, ULM-Florida State, and USF-UConn ... please be safe, Florida), the NFL’s intro meant Thursday night involved only one FBS team (Utah State beat Idaho State on a Facebook broadcast), and all of this is happening scant days after Tennessee beat Georgia Tech on Labor Day.

Below is your Watch Grid guide to the Friday and Saturday of Week 2. Things are arranged in order to help you find the likeliest good games in each time slot. Business is calm until Saturday night, when everything happens at once.

(Weeknight games removed, for your convenience.)

Saturday, Sept. 9 college football schedule

The morning slate is dismal, outside of ¡EL ASSICO! and Lamar Jackson putting up about 17,000 yards against UNC.

In the afternoon, your headliner is Penn State and Pitt hating each other.

AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES WILD. AUBURN-CLEMSON, OHIO STATE-OKLAHOMA, GEORGIA-NOTRE DAME, AND STANFORD-USC ALL AT ONCE. UGA-ND IS LISTED AS A MAYBE, JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS TO BE, AND THE ONE RULE OF THE WATCH GRID IS THAT EACH TIME CAN ONLY HAVE ONE WATCH THIS GAME. YOU CAN WATCH ALL OF AUBURN-CLEMSON AND STILL MAKE CERTAIN TO CATCH THE OU-OSU ENDING, OR VICE VERSA, FOR EXAMPLE. ANYWAY, TRY TO WATCH THEM ALL, FAIL MISERABLY, DO YOUR BEST, AND CATCH UP AS YOU CAN.

The night spot is also good, with the Utah-BYU Holy War (BYU isn’t very good, but again, this is two teams that hate each other) and Boise State-Washington State competing with two possible (likely?) mid-major upsets of the Pac-12’s Arizona teams.
