I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend of college football. There were some surprises, upsets, blowouts, key injuries, coaching controversy, and, sadly, some arrests. Pretty typical first week stuff, overall. Remember as you peruse the list below, it’s just week one so not a lot of data point to truly differentiate. I’ll post another blog tomorrow that talks in more detail about some of the key games, but for now enjoy the inaugural 2023 top 261 from Ohio St to Delaware St.
