JFP Top 25 Week One

The first week of college football saw blowouts or escapes for most of the Top 25 teams. The Top 10 took care of business, except for South Carolina, who faced a surprising Texas A&M team.

Wisconsin, Clemson and South Carolina lost their initial games to higher-ranked teams, LSU, Georgia and Texas A&M, respectively. That was it for the Top 25's first week losses, but many teams scored narrow victories that were too close for comfort.
