Whew! Week 1's five straight days of football are in the books and provided plenty of insight about the 2024 college football season.
The freshman wide receivers? Worth the hype. Utah QB Cam Rising's return from injury? He looks as good as ever. Clemson? The Tigers could be in trouble.
ESPN's college football reporters reflect on big takeaways from Week 1. It was a tough opening week for the ACC. With FSU already losing to Georgia Tech and now the shocking loss to Boston College, plus Clemson's lopsided loss to Georgia, the ACC champion might be the league's lone representative in a 12-team field.
Winning the ACC is Florida State's only chance, as the five highest-ranked conference champions are guaranteed a bid. Even that's going to be difficult after an 0-2 start to conference play.
