W1 Rewind:
Props, shout-outs, attaboys, well done:
- Alabama's defense, oh, and their special teams, oh, and they have Jalen Hurts...ugh, it's gonna be another one of those Roll Tide years again isn't it?
- OSU pulled away as expected in the 2nd half, but hand it to Indiana for sticking in there for a half.
- Clemson looked dominate, and with the unfortunate news of FSU's starting QB Francois out for the season, this looks like its Clemson's ACC title to lose.
- Many teams did what they were supposed to do the first week, like Georgia beating App St. handily...
- LSU blanked BYU, could there be more competition at the top in the SEC West than we expected? Nah, probably not.
- Va Tech vs. WVU, what a game! Only to be over-shadowed by an epic TAMU collapse happening at the same time.
- UAB returned to the gridiron with a solid home opener performance.
- Vandy actually won their opener, first time since 2011, and looked pretty impressive in the process.
- Tennessee is the luckiest freaking team. Ga Tech owned that game! There, I said it.
Back to the drawing board, what were you thinking, maybe next year:
- What would you do with a 34 point lead in the 3rd quarter? Well, don't ask Kevin Sumlin. Texas A&M rewrote the definition of choke.
- Could Florida's offense actually be worse than it was last year?
- Impressive win by Maryland or disaster at Texas? Entertaining either way.
- Pitt needed OT to beat an FCS opponent in Youngstown St.
- Apparently, Louisville didn't get the memo that Purdue is terrible.
- James Madison beat ECU, out-gaining them by 5 yards PER PLAY...
- I really wanted to watch the Trash TV that is Kiffin at FAU, but that was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Upsets that receive their own section:
- Liberty. A Christian University in Lynchburg, VA...beat Baylor!
- The largest upset in the last 10 years came at the hands of Howard University over UNLV. 45 point road underdogs, where a $100 bet to win paid over $50,000!

Overreaction, aka "Hot Take," corner:
- Could South Carolina win the SEC East?
- Is Clemson's new QB better than Watson?
Boom-skaka-laka!
