Texas Form
Texas are looking to send a message to the rest of college football when they head out on the road for the first time.
Last weekend the Longhorns opened up their campaign at home, cruising to a 52-0 win over Colorado State, but this will be a major step up in quality of opposition.
They did enjoy success against ranked teams last season, but there were a couple of defeats along the way, including a 34-30 loss in Oklahoma.
Despite that defeat Texas clinched their place in the college football playoffs with a 49-21 blowout of Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Championship Game.
However, the Longhorns failed to make it to the national championship as they were beaten 37-31 by Washington in the Sugar Bowl.
Michigan Form
Michigan play at home for the second weekend in a row, and they will be aiming to back up a season-opening win.
It was not pretty, but the Wolverines began their defence of the college football crown with a 30-10 victory over Fresno State.
Their offensive struggles were not a major surprise though, after an offseason that saw some massive changes on campus.
Following their national championship success, a 34-13 win over Washington, Michigan lost head coach Jim Harbaugh to the NFL.
The Wolverines also lost a bunch of talent on offense, including quarterback JJ McCarthy and several offensive lineman.
