After two Top 25 teams on the Associated Press Poll won easily in limited Week 0 action, everybody else gets into the fray this weekend.

 

A quick recap of Week 0 results involving Top 25 teams shows No. 6 USC and No. 13 Notre Dame winning easily. The Trojans blasted San Jose State, 56-3, as freshman WR/returner Zachariah Branch stole the show from Heisman winner Caleb Williams. Appropriately, the Irish won in Ireland, 42-3, against overmatched Navy, 42-3.

 

Starting Week 1 action will be No. 14 Utah against visiting Florida, Thursday (ESPN, 8 p.m. ET)

 

No. 1 Georgia, with Carson Beck taking over for Stetson Bennett at quarterback, begins its run at a national-championship three-peat against visiting Tennessee Martin, Saturday (ESPN+, SECN+, 6 p.m. ET)
