? Nebraska (1-0) at Notre Dame (1-0)
As a reward for his second-half play against Texas A&M—four completions in five attempts, 79 yards, one touchdown, 33 yards rushing and 17 Fighting Irish points leading to a 24-10 comeback win—Arnaz Battle faces the Huskers' defense. Some reward. Four No. Is have fallen in Rockne's House. These Irish won't take the fifth.

? Miami (1-0) at Washington (1-0)
The Huskies want to control the ball and hope to do it in Husky weather, as they call a cloudy, rainy Saturday in Seattle. But the Hurricanes, led by All-Big East linebacker Dan Morgan, have the defensive speed to stop Washington's multithreat quarterback, Marques Tuiasosopo. Suffice it to say, this is Hurricane season.

? Oregon (1-0) at Wisconsin (1-0)
A Rose Bowl preview? Don't laugh. The Ducks are the only Pac-10 team with a winning record in each of the last six years. The Badgers, on the other hand, impressed no one in their season-opening 19-7 victory over Western Michigan. Still, Oregon won't have an easy time facing a Wisconsin team trying to get over the national embarrassment of a shoe scandal. No upset here.

? Auburn (1-0) at Ole Miss (1-0)
The Rebels will exact revenge on former coach Tommy Tuberville in his first trip back to Oxford since bolting in 1998. Ole Miss has the emotional edge, and the Tigers won't stop Rebels tailback Deuce McAllister and Co.
