College football, you did not disappoint with the Week 1 matchups as chaos rained down across the country.
There were the usual (and expected) blowouts: Alabama going 55–0 over Utah State, Georgia continuing its reign with a 49–3 win against Oregon, Michigan topping Colorado State 51–7, Miami’s basketball-esque score of 70–13 over Bethune-Cookman and USC breezing past Rice 66–14.
But Week 1 also saw a few stunners. Florida pulled off a 29–26 win over Utah, N.C. State squeaked by with a 21–20 victory over ECU, Houston vs. UTSA went into triple overtime and UNC survived with a 63–61 win over App State that saw the Mountaineers put up a 40-point fourth quarter.
It’s expected that there are some shake-ups coming in the rankings as some top 10 teams fell to unranked opponents while others, like Ohio State and Notre Dame, went toe-to-toe. And while Clemson managed to pull away from Georgia Tech in the second half, some of the issues that plagued the Tigers in 2021 seemed to linger.
