Week 2 of the college football season starts with a massive, high-profile matchup . The No. 3 Texas Longhorns travel to Ann Arbor to face the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines .
Both teams were in the College Football Playoff in 2023. While the Wolverines won the national championship last season, the Horns might be the better team in 2024. Both teams opened the new season with wins in Week 1, albeit in different ways. Texas routed Colorado State 52-0, and Michigan trudged to a 30-10 win over Fresno State.
This is just the second meeting between these two college football blue bloods. The first came in the Rose Bowl following the 2004 season. This game, although early in the season, carries massive CFP implications. According to the Allstate Playoff Predictor, Texas would have an 81% chance of reaching the playoff with a win and a 51% chance with a loss. Michigan needs the win more. Should the Wolverines lose, they would have just a 15% chance to return to the CFP.
It’s Texas QB Quinn Ewers vs. Will Johnson and a loaded Michigan defense. Here are the best plays and takeaways from the game:
