My Week 1 College Football Top 25 Is WILD | Michigan OUT, Miami #1

Week 1 of the 2026 college football season is in the books, and my Top 25 rankings have already changed in a BIG way. Miami moves all the way to No. 1 after an impressive opening performance, Ohio State jumps Indiana, Georgia moves into the Top 5, BYU climbs to No. 7, and Texas Tech remains inside the Top 10. But the biggest controversy? Michigan is OUT of my Top 25. I'm ranking teams based on what I actually saw on the field — not logos, preseason hype or brand recognition. That means teams like North Dakota State, Western Michigan and Boise State are getting rewarded when they deserve it.
