Miami’s Success Surges as Florida and Florida State Struggle; Previewing Texas vs. Michigan on This Week’s Podcast
After the first weekend of the season, Florida’s college football teams are heading in different directions. Miami achieved a significant victory against Florida in the Swamp, increasing pressure on Gators’ coach Billy Napier. Meanwhile, Florida State faced a significant setback at home, losing to Boston College, marking their second ACC loss this season. Once ranked No. 10, the Seminoles have now fallen out of the US LBM Coaches poll.
In other notable actions from Week 1, Georgia reaffirmed its dominance by defeating Clemson, which further illustrates the Tigers’ decline in college football rankings. Southern California also made headlines by securing a strong win against LSU in their first game as a Big Ten member, held in Las Vegas.
Looking ahead to Week 2, an exciting matchup is set as No. 9 Michigan takes on No. 3 Texas. Both teams are keen for a non-conference win to bolster their chances for the College Football Playoff. Another game worth noting is Colorado’s game against Nebraska, with Deion Sanders aiming to guide the Buffaloes to a 2-0 start. This game is critical for Cornhuskers’ coach Matt Rhule as well, following a promising debut from freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola.
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg from YSL News Sports explore these topics and more in this week’s College Football Fix podcast.
