Week 1 Reaction Show: Florida State SHOCKS Alabama, Ohio State Outduels Texas & LSU Prevails

We're back after months away from a full slate of college football games, and Week 1 delivered exactly the kind of chaos we needed. In this college football podcast episode, we dive deep into the biggest storylines, starting with Ohio State's defensive masterclass against Texas in a 14-7 slugfest that left more questions than answers about Arch Manning's readiness for the spotlight. Meanwhile, Florida State pulled off the upset of the day, dismantling Alabama 31-17 behind Tommy Castellanos and a Gus Malzahn offense that looked nothing like last year's disaster. We also break down LSU's statement road win at Clemson, Auburn's ground-and-pound victory over Baylor, and all the smaller storylines that are reshaping our preseason expectations. From quarterback controversies to defensive surprises, we cover the games that mattered most and react to your tweets and voice messages. Plus, we share the weirdest moments from a beautifully bizarre opening weekend, including Joe Tessitore's top buttons and the Oregon Duck's wardrobe malfunction.
