College football season opens with new coaches, eligibility chaos and a Top 25 showdown

The college football season kicked off with new coaches, eligibility chaos, and a top 25 showdown. There is only one game between two Associated Press Top 25 teams, with No. 24 Louisville facing No. 9 Mississippi in Music City. However, Week 1 is filled with intrigue as many top teams kick things off with new coaches, new faces, and high hopes.

Major upheaval over eligibility was another highlight of the opening weekend. Clemson vs. LSU was a showcase game, with both teams looking to get back in the national championship mix. The NCAA's new eligibility rules caused a stir, with LSU interested in bringing back players who had signed professional contracts. Week 1 featured lopsided results, with high-favored teams like Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma expected to win by a wide margin.

Underdogs like UMass and Colorado also had impressive wins. Notable players to watch include Tulane's quarterback, Georgia's Gunner Stockton, Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss, and Texas A&M's Marcel Reed. The season's top 25 rankings will be released on Tuesday, with several games lined up for Thursday through Monday night.
