Following a fun first week of college football, here are the questions I most want answered. Georgia team?

On Saturday, the defending champions not only ranked 11th in the AP Top 25, but also started the season ahead of the Oregon Ducks, a team led by former Bulldogs defensive coordinator Dan Lanning. Not only that, Dawgs made it look easy.

Perhaps 2022 won’t be too different from 2021.

1. Georgia (1-0)

win over Oregon 49-3

The Bulldogs were reminded at this moment that they are the defending national champions. Recorded the most uneven win by a ranked opponent over the weekend. Kirby Smart His team’s focus is usually on defense, but quarterback Stetson Bennett was the star. He completed 25 of his 31 attempts, caught a pass for 368 yards, and scored a total of four TDs before scoring a hook late in the 3rd quarter.

2. Alabama (1-0)

defeat Utah, 55-0

Reigning Heisman champion Bryce Young had five TDs in the first half against reigning Mountain West champions Aggies and didn’t give up anything on Pete Golding’s defense. Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide could be on track for another SEC and UGA domestic title tilt.

3. Ohio (1-0)

defeat Notre Dame, 21-10

The Buckeyes came back from a 10-7 halftime deficit and showed tremendous heart to win in their shoes against top 10 Notre Dame. Without star wideout Jackson-Smith-Nigba for most of the game, quarterback CJ Stroud formed a partnership with Emeka Egbuka to allow the Buckeyes to move to 1-0.

No. 2 Ohio State University Outlasts No. 5 University of Notre Dame

RJ Young reflects on Ohio State’s 21-10 victory over Notre Dame. CJ Stroud was a big deal for the Buckeyes, with 223 yards he completed 24 of his 34 passes.

Four. Texas A&M (1-0)

Defeated FCS Sam Houston State, 31-0

The Aggies seem to be keeping pace with Alabama in the SEC West with a 31-0 victory over the transitioning Sam Houston State. After beating out quarterback Max Johnson in the first job, Haynes-King completed 20 of 31 attempts for 364 yards with 3 TDs and 2 INTs.

5. Notre Dame (0-1)

Lost to Ohio 21-10

I think Ohio State will play in the college football playoffs, but Notre Dame had the Buckeyes on the ropes in the third quarter, if not in the national title game. The Irish gave up two of his TDs and went scoreless in the second half, but covered the spread (17 points) and threatened the Buckeyes both offensively and defensively.

6. Michigan (1-0)

defeat western michigan, 35-13

With Kenneth Walker III joining the NFL, Spartan coach Mel Tucker needed to find a new bell cow in the offseason. he found two Wisconsin’s Jaren Berger and Colorado’s Jarek Broussard combined for 174 rushing yards on 26 carries.

Defeated FCS Albany, 69-10

The Utes fell just short with a tight game the entire way up against the second best team in the SEC East. Utes started the period at 19-14 before he gave up 15 points in the fourth quarter.

defeat University of Texas at El Paso, 45-13

Along with USC’s Lincoln Riley, many have asked Brent Venables if they can put together a staff that can earn points. Not only did Sooners record his 45 yards in his Venables debut, but he did it without flipping the ball while limiting the Miners to 316 total yards.

12.USC (1-0)

defeat rice, 66-14

Riley’s era began with plenty of points on offense and proving to be equally good on defense. Alex Grinch’s D recovered his three INTs for the TD against the Owls, including his one by Alabama transfer and linebacker Shane Lee.

13. Oklahoma (1-0)

defeat Central Michigan, 58-44

The Cowboys started the season with 44 points against Central Michigan in the first half, but gave up 44 points at home to the Chippewas. Polks defensive his coordinator Derek Mason needs to beef up the unit’s tackles before his schedule kicks off in the conference.

defeat new mexico, 38-0

Mo Ibrahim returned to the field for the first time since Week 1 of 2021, picking up where he left off and posting 10 consecutive 100-yard rushing performances. Gophers can go.

17. Michigan (1-0)

defeat Colorado, 51-7

It was the biggest season opener victory in Michigan since 2016. The jury is still out on who the starting quarterback will be, but Wolverines defensive his coordinator Jesse Minter said he expects EDGE players Aidan Hutchinson and David He to fill the void left by Ojabo. I answered the question. Five-star Eyabi Anoma and Mike Morris make a big appearance on Saturday.

Anoma officially joined the team just three weeks before the season started and recorded his first sack as a Wolverine on Saturday. Morris, on the other hand, is so athletic at his 6’6″, 292 lbs that Minter has him standing up during the match with his foot his nine his technique (outside his linebacker his position).

18. Iowa (1-0)

Defeated FCS south dakota, 7-3

Iowa has never suffered an identity crisis, and their season opener against a ranked 3 team in the FCS was no exception. The Hawkeyes became the first team he won 7-3 without scoring a TD, at least since 2000. All Kirk Ferenc’s team needs is two safeties and his goal on the field.

If you’re going to win Iowa this year, bring a bento and a rock to fight.

kill Troy, 28-10

The Jackson Dart era was a little underwhelming, with the USC transfer only completing 18 of 27 passes with 1 TD and INT for 154 yards. However, Lane Kiffin will take a solid win to kick off the weekend.

defeat east carolina, 21-20

After jumping out to a 21-7 lead at halftime, the Wolfpack scored double digits from ECU after kicker Owen Duffer missed an extra point to tie the game and a potential game-winning field goal. I just barely postponed my comeback attempt. North Carolina State University’s Dave Doren said his coach hopes the game is an anomaly and not a sign of what’s to come.

The Wolfpack are 29-0 when they lead by 14 points or more since 2015.

twenty one. Miami (1-0)

Defeated FCS Bethune Cookman, 70-13
