Summary
The modern Week 1 schedule means that one Sunday night game and one Monday night game get the whole sport’s attention. That also means they’re liable to produce overreactions. What did we really learn about USC, LSU, Florida State, and Boston College? What are the greatest Week 1 overreactions of our era? And which team’s early showing is likeliest to be a trick this time around?
This episode is for paid subscribers, but everyone can hear a free preview.
Producer: Anthony Vito.
