The first top-10 matchup of the season was a lopsided blowout, but we got our first major upset of the season Saturday.

No. 5 Notre Dame was stunned at home by Northern Illinois, 16-14. The Huskies drove down for a 35-yard field goal by Kanon Woodill with just over 30 seconds left in the game and then blocked the Irish’s own attempt to win it as time expired.

In the marquee showdown Saturday, No. 3 Texas left no doubt as to which team is the contender against No. 10 Michigan, blowing out the Wolverines 31-12 at the Big House.

Elsewhere, Kansas State survived against Tulane after a controversial finish and Oklahoma State rallied back to beat Arkansas in double overtime.

Below are the best games left. Scroll down to follow all the action live.

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: NBC | Line: Nebraska -6.5 | Total: 55.5

The Huskers showed serious signs of life in Week 1 as true freshman QB Dylan Raiola had a fantastic college debut. Colorado had a hard time putting away North Dakota State, but got standout performances from two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

The crowd in Lincoln will surely be raucous and the game should be a high-flying affair.

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET | TV: ABC | Line: Tennessee -9.5 | Total: 60.5

Both teams got wins over FCS opponents in Week 1 but they were drastically different. NC State struggled mightily against Western Carolina. Tennessee blitzed Chattanooga and quickly made it clear the Mocs had no chance.

Given Tennessee’s passing attack, NC State’s chances hinge on its defense playing much better than it did in Week 1.

Time: 10 p.m. ET | TV: Peacock | Line: Oregon -19.5 | Total: 61.5

Both teams had more trouble than expected against their opponents in Week 1. Boise State needed a 21-point run to put Georgia Southern away and Oregon eked out a 24-14 win over Idaho.

Ashton Jeanty went off for 267 yards and six touchdowns in the Broncos’ opener, and he’ll surely be the focus for Oregon’s defense. New Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel was 41-of-49 passing in Week 1 but averaged just 7.6 yards an attempt.

The Vols aren’t able to do much with their first possession of the game and that may be NC State’s path to keeping this game close: Limit Tennessee possessions, and take as much time off the clock as possible when on offense.
