WHAT'S AT STAKE

The Horned Frogs are riding a nine-game winning streak, the longest in the nation, into their Big 12 debut against the Jayhawks. Kansas is trying to rebound from a fourth-quarter meltdown last Saturday against Rice, another former Southwest Conference program.

KEY MATCHUP

TCU QB Casey Pachall against the Kansas secondary. Pachall was 9 of 9 for 201 yards and three TDs in a 56-0 season-opening rout of Grambling State. He'll be going against a Jayhawks defensive backfield that has struggled mightily against South Dakota State and Rice.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

TCU: RB Waymon James is a big play waiting to happen. He ran for 875 yards and six TDs last season, and his average of 7.2 yards was seventh nationally. James only carried five times in TCU's opener, but he averaged 13.8 yards and also caught a 30-yard pass against Grambling State.

Kansas: QB Dayne Crist has struggled through his first two games since transferring from Notre Dame, throwing for just 313 yards with two TDs and three interceptions. Crist will have to do better than his 51.6 completion percentage to give the Jayhawks a shot against TCU.

Line: Michigan by 47.

Series Record: Michigan leads 1-0.

UMass, in its first year at the highest level of college football, can give its program a signature win by stunning college football's winningest program. Though mostly the Minutemen would just like to stay close.

KEY MATCHUP

The Wolverines are determined to get him going and it will be up to the McIntyre-led linebackers to slow him down.

No. 18 Florida (2-0, 1-0 SEC) vs. No. 23 Tennessee (2-0, 0-0), 6 p.m. (ESPN)

Line: Tennessee by 3.

Series Record: Florida leads 22-19.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

Both teams are seeking to prove they've rebounded after delivering disappointing results in recent seasons. Tennessee went 1-7 in SEC competition last season and has posted losing records in each of Derek Dooley's two seasons. Florida went 7-6 last season in Will Muschamp's first year for its lowest win total since 2004. Both teams have shown evidence of turning the corner by winning their first two games this season. The winner has reason to believe it can contend for an East Division title.

KEY MATCHUP

Tennessee's passing offense vs. Florida's pass defense: Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray has completed 73.8 percent of his passes for 643 yards and six touchdowns without an interception. He benefits from a dynamic receiving corps that features two of the SEC's top playmakers in Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson. Hunter leads the SEC with 17 catches and ranks second in the conference with 219 receiving yards. Patterson leads the SEC with 360 all-purpose yards. Florida is one of only 10 teams in the nation that have played two games this season without allowing a touchdown pass.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Florida: RB Mike Gillislee: Although Gillislee injured his groin last week in Florida's 20-17 victory at Texas A&M, Coach Will Muschamp has said Gillislee should be fine for Saturday's game. Gillislee leads the SEC with 231 rushing yards and averages 6.1 yards per carry. The team that rushes for the most yards historically has dominated this series, so Gillislee's health is a major factor.

Tennessee: WR Hunter: He was leading the SEC in receiving through the first two games of the 2011 season before tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last September in a 33-23 loss to Florida. He is back at 100 percent now and has tied Johnny Mills' 46-year-old school record for most catches through the first two games of a season.

FACTS & FIGURES

This marks the first Florida-Tennessee game since 2007 in which both teams are ranked. ... Tennessee is ranked for the first time since the 2008 preseason poll. ...

Florida's victory over Texas A&M last week marked the first time the Gators have won a game under Muschamp after trailing at halftime. The Gators were 0-5 in those situations last year. ... Florida linebacker Jelani Jenkins (thumb) and cornerback Cody Riggs (foot) will miss Saturday's game, while safety De'Ante Saunders is returning from a two-game suspension. ... Tennessee linebackers Herman Lathers (shoulder) and Curt Maggitt (toe) are questionable after sitting out the victory over Georgia State last week.

Line: Louisville 3 1/2

Series Record: Tied 3-3

WHAT'S AT STAKE

Good as Louisville has looked in dominating Kentucky and FCS Missouri State, the Cardinals have looked to this game as a measuring stick. They also want to carry the momentum of a 3-0 start at home into a three-game road swing at FIU, Mississippi State and Pittsburgh. North Carolina will try to bounce back from a 28-27 loss at Wake Forest in its ACC opener, when the Tar Heels rallied to take a late lead before allowing the Demon Deacons to win it.

KEY MATCHUP

Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater vs. North Carolina CBs Jabari Price and Tim Scott. The sophomore passed for a career-best 344 yards against Missouri State and hasn't thrown an interception while completing 49 of 60 attempts. He has involved everybody but his receivers could face resistance from Scott (two interceptions) and Price (one).

PLAYERS TO WATCH

North Carolina: DL Sylvester Williams. A preseason candidate for several national awards, he passed up the NFL Draft to return for his senior season and has 2.5 sacks.

Louisville: S Hakeem Smith is second on the team in tackles and will need to be involved in stopping the run, especially if RB Giovani Bernard is healthy enough to play.
