The first full weekend of the 2019 season is in the books, and five consecutive days of college football confirmed many of our preseason beliefs, while quenching the hopes and dreams of some fan bases across the country throughout summer.
Six teams, Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State and LSU, appear to be the cream of the crop, at least after a week.
Auburn, Boise State and Wisconsin were some of the big surprises.
The state of Florida, Missouri, Tennessee and UCLA were some of the disappointments.
Here are the NFL Power ratings after week 1:
1. Clemson (1-0)
Tigers Quarterback Trevor Lawrence struggled a bit when he won the first match of national champion Clemson, releasing two interceptions in a 52-14 victory
over Georgia Tech. However, this year's ACC player, Travis Etienne, took the place where he went, running 12 times for 205 yards with three goals. Surprisingly, the Tigers have averaged more pages at Etienne speed (8.6) compared to Lawrence (8.2) in the last two seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Next: vs. Texas A&M (Saturday, 3:30 p.m., ABC)
2. Alabama (1-0)
Even without linebacker Dylan Moses, who missed the knee injury, the Crimson Tide defense looked as dominant as before in the 42-3 win over Duke in Atlanta. Blue Devils only flipped 204 meters with the first 11 going down and turning the ball three times. New midfielders Christian Harris and Shane Lee each have six tackles at the start of their first race.
Next: vs. State of New Mexico (Saturday, 4 pm ET, SECN)
3. Georgia (1-0)
The Bulldog has received six of the best passes since 2018, and midfielder Jake Fromm did a good job of getting the ball in a 30-6 win at Vanderbilt. Six players against two passes in Georgia's 14th straight win over SEC Eastern opponents, and Demetris Robertson and Matt Landers emerged as playful defenses. However, coordinator James Coley used the same recipe, the Bulldogs ran 40 times for 323 pages with two goals.
Next: vs. Murray State (Saturday, 4 p. ET, ESPN2)
4. Oklahoma (1-0)
Regarding one myth buried last week: Alabama transfer Jalen Hurts was not thrown well enough to be developed in the Lincoln Riley system. The Hurts finished 20 of 23 passes for 332 yards with three goals, while running 16 times for 176 yards with three more scores, in a 49-31 win over Houston. A total damage of 508 yards is the highest number taken in the history of OU. Rather more impressive: The OU Defense, which took its last death spot at FBS in a defense graduation in 2018, contained Houston from D'Eriq King with 167 yards that had been collected in the new defense debutant coordinator Alex Grinch.
Next: vs. South Dakota (Saturday, 7 pm ET)
5. State of Ohio (1-0)
Georgia's first transfer match, Justin Fields, at Ohio State was as good as expected, as it went through four touchdowns and ran for another in a 45-21 victory over Florida Atlantic. Fields completed 18 of 25 passes for 234 yards and led the Buckeyes to touchdowns in the first four possessions, before the OSU offensive exploded in the second half. Fields was extremely efficient when he had time in his pocket, completing 15 of 16 passes when he was not pressed. He plans to get a much stiffer test of Cincinnati's defense this week.
Next: vs. Cincinnati (Saturday, 12 p.m. ET, ABC)
6. LSU (1-0)
The new hurried and uncrowded offensive of the Tigers was a welcome sight for LSU fans in a 55-3 defeat of Georgia Southern. Quarterback Joe Burrow completed 23 of 27 passes for 278 yards and five touchdowns with almost all of his production in the first half. The Tigers scored 21 points in the first and second quarters each, after not being able to score three touchdowns in any quarter in 2018. The Tigers averaged only 3.7 yards per carry, but the new passing game coordinator Joe Brady saved some wrinkles for Next week's trip. to Texas
Next: in Texas (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
7. Texas (1-0)
The Longhorns had to replace eight defensive starters of the 10-4 team last season, and the first results for coordinator Todd Orlando were encouraging in a 45-14 victory over Louisiana Tech. The Longhorns bleached during the first three Fourth, they forced three turnovers (a penalty for mistreatment of the passer denied a fourth rotation, a pick-six) and allowed only 73 yards on the ground. It was a good start with the LSU high-power offensive coming to Austin next week for what could be the biggest game without a conference since No. 1 Ohio State played there in 2006.
Next: vs. LSU (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
8. Michigan (1-0)
The Wolverines' new extended offensive under former Alabama assistant Josh Gattis was a mix in a 40-21 victory over Middle Tennessee. Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson completed 17 of 29 passes for 203 yards with three touchdowns, but lost the ball twice. The Wolverines had 453 yards of offense, but scored only 13 points in the second half, when penalties and other failures thwarted the impulses. Even so, it was a good first step towards modernizing the offensive.
Next: vs. Army (Saturday, 12 p.m. ET, FOX)
9. Notre Dame (1-0)
The Fighting Irish overcame a slow start in Louisville before moving away for a 35-17 victory on Monday night. Notre Dame's rebuilt defense, which had to replace top linebackers Te'von Coney and Drue Tranquill from 2018, showed some early growth pains, as the Cardinals ran more than 200 yards. But the Irish took three turnovers to open a 14-point lead in the third quarter, and Louisville's defense had no answer for his solid career game. The Irish will have an additional week to correct their mistakes before facing New Mexico at home on September 14, followed by a clash in Georgia next week.
Next: vs New Mexico (September 14, 2:30 p.m. ET, NBC)
10. Auburn (1-0)
Bo knows about returns. Auburn freshman quarterback Bo Nix ran for a late first attempt and then fired the 26-yard winning touchdown pass to Seth Williams with nine seconds remaining in a 27-21 victory over Oregon in Arlington, Texas . Nix, whose father, Patrick, played as quarterback for the Tigers from 1992 to 1995, completed 13 of 31 passes for 177 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Nix still has a long way to go, but Auburn's defense is good enough to keep the Tigers in games while feeling more comfortable and developing as a passer.
Next: vs. Tulane (Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
