One week of the college football season is in the books. While we do not have any College Football Playoff rankings coming for months, we have our poll after this chaotic and exciting first weekend with the release of the Amway Coaches Poll from USA Today.
While Michigan State did not play as well as they had hoped against Furman, they still received a bump, moving up three spots to number 8.
