Typically, the first full weekend of college football doesn’t tell us much about the teams at the top as it does teams that had expectations of improving mediocre or dreadful 2018 seasons.

The ranked SEC teams took care of business, as they actually beat who they were supposed to. The SEC also maintained its dominance of the Pac-12, continuing that tradition when Auburn scraped by Oregon.
