First Impressions of the Top 25 team’s action in week one of the college football season:

AP Top 25: Week 1

1. Alabama (1-0) – Beat San Jose State 48-3 – Looked like the same old ‘Bama, even without Heisman winner Mark Ingram.

2. Ohio State (1-0) – Beat Marshall 45-7 – Fans got another glimpse of Terrell Pryor the passer – 17/25 247 yds 3TDs. What happened between last year’s Michigan game and the Rose bowl game?

3. Boise State (1-0) – Beat No. 10 Virginia Tech 33-30 – Another thrilling top 25 victory for the Bronco’s, America’s favorite underdog stays alive.

4. Florida (1-0) – Beat Miami (OH) 34-12 – Maybe the loss of Tim Tebow has more of a mental effect on the team that originally thought. Three turnovers and bad snaps made the Gators look like FIU early.

5. Texas (1-0) – Beat Rice 34-17 – No Colt McCoy no problem, for now at least. The Horns showed a shaky offense against an even shakier defense.

6. TCU (1-0) – Beat No. 24 Oregon State 30-21 – The Horned Frogs showed once again whoever controls the ball, controls the game. Quarterback Andy Dalton looks like the real deal this season.

7. Oklahoma (1-0) – Beat Utah State 31-24 – Despite big performances from running back Demarco Murray – 208 yds 2TDs – and wideout Ryan Broyles – 142 yds 2TDs – the Sooners just pull out a win at home.

8. Nebraska (1-0) – Beat W. Kentucky 49-10 – The Huskers stellar defense gets overshadowed by quick strike offense? Redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez rushes for 127 yds 3TDs.

9. Iowa (1-0) – Beat E. Illinois 37-7 – Quarterback Ricky Stanzi goes down with a scare, but Iowa ground game over powers lesser opponent.

10. Virginia Tech (0-1) – Lost to No. 3 Boise State 33-30 – How does a team lose in those jerseys? A never die attitude led by quarterback Tyrod Taylor isn’t enough to overcome Kellen Moore and Boise.

11. Oregon (1-0) – Beat New Mexico 72-0 – Ducks give new meaning to ‘pick on somebody your own size.’ Back up running back Kenjon Barner scores five total TDs.

12. Wisconsin (1-0) – Beat UNLV 41-21 – Badgers don’t gamble in this game, a dominant offense led by running back John Clay – 123 yds 2TDs – overpower the rebels. Hopefully they got to hit some slots on the way home.

13. Miami (FL) (1-0) – Beat Florida A&M 45-0 – Quarterback Jacory Harris’s 3TDs in a half of action lead the Hurricanes past the Rattlers before a Ohio State trip. Offense looks powerful with sneaky good rushing game.

14. USC (1-0) – Beat Hawaii 49-36 – Trojans defense soaks up some sun and while the offense unleashes some anger. Quarterback Matt Barkley tossed 5 TDs while defense gives up four.
