Week 1, as usual, had few surprises as the top teams took care of business as expected. Most played FCS or other sub-par opponents but we got the Bama QB question answered (as if we did't already know) and Miami picked up where they left off 2017 (as many expected).
The Washington-Auburn showdown created plenty of chatter as both teams could end up their respective conference champs and in the playoffs. Ohio State ran up the score (again) just making the new haters hate even more. Georgia showed off both QBs and a number of backs as they prepare for another run at the title. West Virginia converted a few more (I was already on their bandwagon) with a convincing win.
BYU pulled off the biggest upset as they controlled Arizona and their Heisman Favorite QB / SI cover boy most of the game. Their defense stepped up and the offense played with more consistency (that is what they lacked most last year). If they can keep that up and improve on it they just might improve on the 2017 4-9 record - even with their brutal schedule (Cal, at Wisconsin, at Washington, at Boise State, at Utah).

Saban, I get it, you're tired of the QB questions and you don't like the media anyway. They're a distraction. But we all have parts of our jobs we dislike (even if we really like our job). So make your peace with that fact, take a few deep breaths and let people do their job even when you disapprove of their chosen career.
