Week 1 of a given college football season is always a bit dizzying, a bit confusing. But the first weekend of the 2023 season was especially so. Of course, so much of Week 1 is about deciphering blowouts, and while treating bad teams like really bad teams is certainly more predictive than the typical "They ain't played nobody!" fan acknowledges, it's only so predictive. We'd be smart to mostly withhold judgment with what little we've seen this year.
Withholding judgment is no fun whatsoever, though. Overreacting? Very fun. So let's do that!
