My 2021-22 NCAA Football Rankings After Week 1

 My NCAA Football Rankings after one full week of college football in the books.

1) Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0) crushed then ranked 14th Miami 44-13. In other words Alabama took care of business. The Crimson Tide should have an easy time with Mercer next week.

2) Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) topped Clemson 10-3. The Tigers are considered a playoff challenger and the Bulldogs defense shut them down. The Bulldogs host UAB next week.

3) Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0) trailed at halftime but defeated the Minnesota Gophers 45-31. Face a bigger challenge with Oregon next week.

4) Texas A&M Aggies (1-0) crushed Kent 41-10. The Aggies visit Colorado next.

7) Iowa State Cyclones (1-0) defeated Northern Iowa 16-10. The Cyclones face a tough match up with Iowa.

10) Notre Dame  Fighting Irish (1-0) blew an 18 point lead against the Florida State Seminoles. The luck was with the Irish as they won 41-38 in overtime. The Irish should have an easier time with Toledo.

17) Coastal Carolina (1-0) crushed The Citadel 52-14. The Chanticleers face Kansas on Friday.
