The college football season rolls on, and Week 2's lineup is looking strong with some big cross-conference games, from Texas-Ohio State to Michigan-Oklahoma to Illinois-Duke and so many more.

So before Week 2 kicks off, we've got some picks of the week, along with answers to those questions and more.

We're breaking down our straight-up picks for Week 2 and which matchups to keep a close eye on this weekend.

Let's get into it.

When: Friday, 8 p.m.

ET (FOX) Where: David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, Lawrence, Kansas Line: Missouri -5.5 RJ Young: Missouri The Tigers have the better quarterback, and their run game is still rather awesome even without Ahmad Hardy in the backfield.

Laken Litman: Missouri Mizzou takes down Kansas in an old rivalry game as former Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons lights up the Jayhawks with another multi-touchdown performance.

Michael Cohen: Missouri As a new face in a new place, Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons gave the Tigers plenty to be excited about in Week 1 with four touchdowns and only two incompletions.

He keeps it rolling against the Jayhawks.

Ben Portnoy: Missouri I'm in on Austin Simmons being a difference maker for the Tigers, even with a depleted run game.

Head coach Eli Drinkwitz has largely handled business as a favorite during his tenure, and I think he does it again this week.

When: Saturday, noon ET (FOX) Where: Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan Line: Oklahoma -5.5 Young: Oklahoma The Sooners have the edge at quarterback, wide receiver and defensive line.

This could get ugly for Michigan if Bryce Underwood doesn't show a tremendous leap in development.

Litman: Oklahoma The biggest question for me is how Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood will look after last week's near disaster against Western Michigan.
