PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – The second week of the college football season brings plenty of consensus to the Local10.com college football picks.
Six teams -- Miami, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Florida and Indiana -- are unanimous favorites to beat their opponents, beginning with Friday night's first-ever meeting between the Owls and the Hurricanes at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton.

The Hurricanes are expected to improve to 2-0 with a win against the program built by former FAU head coach Howard Schnellenberger, who also led Miami to its first national championship in 1983.
Florida State and Florida are also expected to win at home against non-conference opponents South Florida and East Carolina, respectively.
Local 10 meteorologist Julie Durda and Local 10 sports reporter Andrea Brody had faith in FIU last week after the Panthers upset UCF, but there's no such love for Miami's second-favorite college program with a trip to Indiana looming.
UCF and Stanford are both coming off losses, but Local 10 sports director Will Manso and Local 10 sports reporter Clay Ferraro -- both of whom had false confidence in the Knights a week ago -- are counting on the Cardinal to rebound at home this Saturday.
Brody believes in No. 7 Oregon to win the first top-10 matchup of the season when the Ducks travel to fifth-ranked Michigan State. Manso, Ferraro and Durda are picking Michigan State. Oregon defeated the Spartans, 46-27, last year.
Ferraro is choosing against the pack, picking No. 19 Oklahoma to beat No. 23 Tennessee in Knoxville.
Last but not least, Durda is aligning with her alma mater by picking No. 25 Mississippi State to upset No. 14 LSU. The Bulldogs notched their first quality win of 2014 at Tiger Stadium on the way to a 9-0 start and their first No. 1 ranking in school history.
