Week 1 of the 2025 college football season has come and gone. What a week it was.

The #8 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide suffered another road loss to an unranked team under Kalen DeBoer, this time to FSU. #3 Ohio State defended their home field against preseason #1 Texas and Arch Manning in a low scoring contest to begin last weekend’s trio of top ten matchups. #9 LSU upset #4 Clemson on the road on Saturday night in a battle of Tigers and Death Valleys. On Sunday night, #10 Miami pulled out a close win at home over #10 Notre Dame. That is how college football seasons should always begin!
