Reacts: How do football fans view the CFP contenders after week 1?
Who impressed, proved it, underwhelmed in the race for the title?
Following the first week of college football, fan reactions to the top CFP contenders varied significantly. Fans praised LSU's dominant victory over Clemson and Notre Dame's decisive defeat of Wisconsin as significant positive performances. Conversely, Oregon's intense clash with Boise State received a more mixed response. The unexpected result at Michigan and outright losses by other prominent teams, on the other hand, gathered significant criticism.
Notre Dame's climb in fan favorability was evident in the FanDuel odds to secure the championship title. Similarly, Michigan's turbulent season negatively impacted the perception of the Wolverines. Oregon experienced a slight dip in implied odds, but they were not as favored as the LSU Tigers, who impressed fans by remaining in the race despite their low starting point.
