The new AP poll is out.
College football came back in a big way in Week 1.
The two high-profile matchups lived up to their billing. The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes defense completely shut down the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and ruined the start of the Arch Manning era. Texas turned the ball over on downs four times and Manning had an interception. The Longhorns are the sixth AP preseason No. 1 to lose the season opener and the first since 1990.
The biggest upset of the day came when the unranked Florida State Seminoles knocked off the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Noles, coming off a 2-10 season, dominated the Tide, rushing for 230 yards while holding Bama to 87 yards on the ground, their fewest since 1975.
