Week 1 of the 2024 college football season is in the books.
The Miami Hurricanes looked incredible in their win in Gainesville against the Florida Gators. The rest of the ACC didn’t fare as well. #14 Clemson got smoked by #1 Georgia, Virginia Tech lost at Vanderbilt in overtime, and #10 Florida State lost their home-opener to Boston College. Elsewhere, #23 USC got a big neutral-site win over #13 LSU in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
