Predictions for Week 2 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 1

Week 1 is in the books, and boy did some top ten teams take a massive blow to their playoff chances. However, all is not lost for them. But the remaining road is now a massive climb uphill. Can they bounce back?

Another major miss was underestimating the surprise that Colorado was going to put on TCU. Aside from that, no major upsets in week 1. This week’s marquee matchup pits a master against one of his former apprentices as Texas marches into T-town to take on the Nick Saban-led Alabama Crimson Tide.

Week 1 record: 76-10
Total record: 82-11
