Week 1 college football saw major upsets. Ohio State defeated Texas, ending Texas's reign as preseason No. 1. LSU also triumphed over Clemson, potentially setting them up for a top ranking. Alabama suffered a loss, raising concerns. Other teams like Penn State and Georgia had dominant wins, while some, such as Kansas State and Boise State, had close calls. The AP Top 25 poll is expected to reflect these dramatic shifts.
