SportsCrack's Top 10 College Football Teams After Week 1



1) Alabama - I don't even really need to explain this one.  The defending champs waxed the shit out of Louisville in Dallas and with Tua now playing QB their offense should be nearly unstoppable.

2) Clemson - Much the same with Alabama it's time for Clemson to just give the QB keys to freshman sensation Trevor Lawrence and forget about Kelly Bryant.  Clemson on paper is the only team that can match up with Bama at this point in the season.

3) Georgia - The Bulldogs got their warmup game for South Carolina this week out of the way with no injuries and although freshman QB Justin Fields looked great there is no good reason to let him start over Jake Fromm....yet.


4) Notre Dame - Even I was a little surprised how dominant ND looked vs Michigan Saturday night.  The Fighting Irish defense was outstanding all game and QB Brandon Wimbush played spectacular vs a great Michigan defense.


5) Auburn - The Tigers beat a really good Washington Huskies team to end their two game Mercedes Benz Stadium streak.  Auburn's defense looks like a legit SEC type defense with playmakers and speed everywhere.

6) Ohio State - Even without Urban Meyer on the sidelines the Buckeyes beat the ever living shit out of Oregon State at the Horse Shoe.  I expect more the same with the Buckeyes who are clearly carrying a chip on their shoulder because of the media's fascination with wife beating losers.


7) Oklahoma - The Kyler Murray era started off with a bang with a thorough beat down of the Fighting Lane Kiffins by nearly 50 points.  This week they get the Fighting Chip Kelly's.

8) Virginia Tech - 46 of the 57 players who dressed for the Hokies in their road opener vs FSU are underclassmen.  That's insane.  And they beat the shit out of FSU from the opening snap and made the Willie Taggart hire look like...well...shit so far.

9) Wisconsin - The Badgers dominated a decent Western Kentucky team as their Heisman favorite Jonathan Taylor nearly rushed for 200 yards.  They get another warm up game this weekend with New Mexico.  The Badgers don't deserve top 5 votes till they actually schedule a decent out of conference opponent.

10) LSU - I'll probably regret this position soon but there is no denying LSU deserves credit for the beat down they gave on Miami Sunday night.  I mean that was just a good old fashion and I picked Miami to win the game.
