College football rankings: ESPN updates Top 25 teams ahead of Week 1

ESPN updated its Football Power Index (FPI) following a Week 0 Saturday slate of college football. A total of 22 teams were in action Saturday, including six Power 5 programs, three from the B1G.

There were only some minor changes in the Top 25 of the FPI with a lot of movement lower down the totem pole. Vanderbilt saw the biggest jump after its 63-10 victory over Hawai’i, followed by Illinois in its 38-6 stomping of Wyoming. Ohio State remains the top dog in the B1G at No. 2.

Here’s how the Top 25 shakes out following Week 0:

1. Alabama (-)
2. Ohio State (-)
3. Georgia (-)
4. Clemson (-)
5. Notre Dame (-)
6. Michigan (-)
7. Texas (-)
8. Oklahoma (-)
9. Miami (-)
10. LSU (-)
11. Auburn (-)
12. Texas A&M (-)
13. Utah (-)
14. Oklahoma State (-)
15. Michigan State (-)
16. Penn State (-)
17. Ole Miss (-)
18. Kentucky (-)
19. Pitt (+1)
20. Wisconsin (+1)
21. Baylor (+1)
22. Oregon (+1)
23. Mississippi State (+1)
24. Tennessee (+1)
25. Arkansas (+1)

This list is set to become extremely volatile in the coming weeks. The FPI is updated weekly.
