Ole Miss Rebels at Tulane Green Wave
Scott Halleran/Getty Images
Final Score: Ole Miss 39, Tulane 0
Ole Miss has had a good start to the season, but the way the Rebels lost to Texas at home last week was rough.

Prediction: Ole Miss
Kentucky Wildcats at Florida Gators

Final Score: Florida 38, Kentucky 0

www.mysa.com
Final Score: UTSA 56, NW Oklahoma St. 10

Prediction: UTSA
Connecticut Huskies at Western Michigan Broncos
Marilyn Indahl-US PRESSWIRE
Western Michigan 30, UConn 24

Marshall Thundering Herd at Rice Owls
Justin K. Aller/Getty Images
Marshall 54, Rice 51 (OT)

The offensive matchup favors Marshall.
Prediction: Marshall
VMI Keydets at Navy Midshipmen
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Final Score: Navy 41, VMI 3
Navy, like Army, is also still searching for its first win of the season.

Prediction: Navy
Kansas Jayhawks at Northern Illinois Huskies
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Final Score: Northern Illinois 30, Kansas 23
While Kansas has improved, it is certainly not ready to win a road game like this.

Florida Atlantic Owls at Alabama Crimson Tide
Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
Final Score: Alabama 40, FAU 7
If Alabama beat Arkansas the way it did last week on the road, can you imagine what it will do to Florida Atlantic at home?

Prediction: Alabama
Wyoming Cowboys at Idaho Vandals
Cooper Neill/Getty Images
Final Score: Wyoming 40, Idaho 37 (OT)
Not much to see here as Idaho brings in one of the worst offenses and defenses in the nation.

Final Score: Duke 38, Memphis 14
Don't look now, but Duke could be off to a 3-1 start after this week.

Prediction: Duke
Citadel Bulldogs at NC State Wolfpack
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Final Score: North Carolina State 52, Citadel 14
While NC State is still working some things out on offense, Citadel is not a team that will push it all that much.

Prediction: Arkansas
Utah State Aggies at Colorado State Rams
Jeff Hanisch-US PRESSWIRE
Final Score: Utah State 31, Colorado State 19

Prediction: Texas A&M
Troy Trojans at North Texas Mean Green
Marvin Gentry-US PRESSWIRE
Final Score: Troy 14, North Texas 7

Troy Babbitt-US PRESSWIRE

Prediction: Toledo
Michigan Wolverines at Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Mike Carter-US PRESSWIRE
Final Score: Notre Dame 13, Michigan 6

Prediction: Georgia
Kansas State Wildcats at Oklahoma Sooners
Scott Sewell-US PRESSWIRE
Final Score: Kansas State 24, Oklahoma 19
Over in the Big 12, this game may be early in the year, but it is huge for both teams.

Prediction: Kansas State
Clemson Tigers at Florida State Seminoles
Melina Vastola-US PRESSWIRE
Another huge game this week features Clemson and Florida State.

Mark Konezny-US PRESSWIRE
Final Score: Minnesota 17, Syracuse 10

Prediction: Syracuse
New Mexico Lobos at New Mexico State Aggies
Cooper Neill/Getty Images
Final Score: New Mexico 27, New Mexico State 14
One really bad team is about to go 2-2 this week.

Prediction: New Mexico State
Fresno State Bulldogs at Tulsa Golden Hurricanes
Kevin Casey/Getty Images

Prediction: Fresno State
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Illinois Fighting Illini
Bob Levey/Getty Images
Final Score: Louisiana Tech 52, Illinois 34
Before starting conference play, Illinois hosts Louisiana Tech this week.

Prediction: Louisiana Tech
Air Force Falcons at UNLV Runnin' Rebels
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Air Force has had a strong start to the season, and after having a week off to prepare, this road game against UNLV should not be an issue.

Prediction: Air Force
Arizona Wildcats at Oregon Ducks
Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images
Oregon has finished its preseason and is ready for the real games to begin.
Arizona has looked impressive at times and will need its best at Autzen Stadium.
