Week 1 Whiplash: Corso's Curtain Call, Buckeye Beatdown, and Noles Shock Bama

Week 1 was chaos—in the best way. Brien and AV open with a salute to Lee Corso's perfect 6–0 finale and ESPN's fitting sendoff, then rip through a wild slate that flipped a few preseason scripts. What's inside: Ohio State 24, Texas 7: The Horseshoe was hostile and the Buckeye D-line stole the show. Why Texas' biggest worry isn't Arch—it's the offensive front. Florida State 31, Alabama 17: 49 newcomers, a brand-new edge, and a fourth-and-1 statement—how the Noles' mentality and coordinators changed everything. LSU 17, Clemson 10: Tigers-on-Tigers, but LSU's defense dictated. Clemson's biggest problem? A run game that doesn't exist (yet). Miami 23, Notre Dame 20: Best RB in the country, barely used—ND's baffling plan vs. a surging Canes front. Streak snapped: Shoutout Kent State for ending a 21-game skid. AV's Book Club: An 0–4 gut check (and what the misses actually taught us). New Top 25: OSU to No. 1, LSU rockets up, FSU debuts at 17, Texas and Clemson recalibrate. Stick around for Friday's preview: Michigan at Oklahoma with Wolverine great John Kolesar—plus Illinois–Duke and the Cy-Hawk showdown.
