College Football Fix: Colorado, Duke lead Week 1 shockers; Alabama-Texas top Week 2 preview
Colorado shook up the college football world with its stunning upset of TCU. The win was the first maker put down by Deion Sanders after his unorthodox rebuild of the Buffaloes that pushed back against the sport's establishment.
But that game wasn't the only surprise. Duke took down Clemson, dealing a major blow to the Tigers, who must now rebound quickly to maintain their College Football Playoff hopes.There was also the stunningly emphatic win by Florida State in a top 10 matchup against LSU that portends big things for the Seminoles.
Week 2 has the opportunity for more surprises with No. 3 Alabama hosting No. 10 Texas in the highest-profile matchup. There are other games worth noting. No. 20 Mississippi heads to No. 22 Tulane in a matchup that should have New Orleans buzzing. Also, Colorado doesn't get an easy weekend off after its big win. Nebraska is coming to town in a renewal of the rivalry from the days of the Big Eight and Big 12.
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg recaps Week 1 and previews Week 2 in this week's version of the College Football Fix.
