LSU’s blowout win in Week 1 vaulted the Tigers into the AP Top 10 and the US LBM Coaches Poll, while Ohio State retained the No. 1 spot in Tom Fornelli’s College Football Power Ratings. Michigan’s drop out of the AP poll and Oregon’s slip from the top five signal early volatility, putting bowl prospects and recruiting momentum at stake for the three programs.

Coverage ties LSU’s rise to a Week 1 blowout and notes Oregon’s scare, while CBS and AP differ on Michigan’s status—CBS keeps the Wolverines in its Coaches Poll while AP lists them as out of the Top 25. Reporting on Ohio State highlights a shaky offensive line but offers little on the upcoming Texas matchup, leaving the Buckeyes’ week‑2 outlook uncertain.
