college football Bottom 10 after Week 1 Alabama is not alone - ESPN

Inspirational thought of the week:

Well, as I grew, indeed I rambled
Out along the open road
There I learned the rainbow circle
It's truly said that's a sign of storm

Now I'm old, my dreams they wander
Far away in yesterday
I'm going home to the Merrimack county
And find the grass that hides my grave

— «Merrimack County,» Tom Rush

Here at Bottom 10 Headquarters, currently located beside a roulette table in Tahoe, where we're waiting on a callback from Coach Corso seeing as how he posted a perfect record in his final «College GameDay» picks and seeing as how he's free this Saturday so maybe he might help us out, we are sifting through an old road atlas trying to locate Merrimack College.

Why? Because during college football's opening weekend, the Warriors (located in North Andover, Massachusetts) went and upset the Bottom 10 cosmic balance like Thanos snapping his fingers, or Atlas shrugging, or whatever it was that Lex Luthor was doing with that weird army of tweeting monkeys in the latest «Superman» movie.

If you missed it — and if you did, shame on you and it's time to rethink your priorities — the Warriors were on the cusp of handing State of Kent its 22nd consecutive loss. Then the realest thing happened. As in Da'Realyst Clark, he of the 100-yard kick return.

The Golden Flash in the Pan's first win in more than 700 days. The two-time defending and reigning Bottom 10 champions suddenly with a «1» in the «W» column. And it's just Week 1. At this pace we will be out of breath and in a ditch on the side of the road before the end of September. Likely covered in loose pages from last year's Kent State football media guide.
