Bleacher Report's Week 1 College Football Awards

In addition to a leather helmet, for some strange reason, Auburn's red-zone defense was the recipient of one of Bleacher Report's awards for Week 1 of the 2018 college football season.

We also have a head coach who's already on the hot seat, a boneheaded penalty for the ages, a point-a-palooza in the Horseshoe, a "Shoelace" imitation in Syracuse and about a dozen other awards to sum up the opening week that was.

One award we surprisingly didn't get to give out, though, was the "Colossal Upset of the Week." There were a couple of surprises and plenty of close calls, but there wasn't a single loss by a team that was favored by at least 15 points.
