The Gators were bludgeoned by Miami in The Swamp, making Billy Napier's seat even hotter. Meanwhile, defending champion Michigan looks sluggish, Notre Dame wins a defensive battle and Penn State might just have a passing game.
College football is back in full swing as the majority of FBS teams took the field for the first time on Saturday.
Through two seasons of the Billy Napier era, the tenure has been nothing short of an unmitigated disaster. The Gators posted a 6–7 record in Napier’s first season, and followed that up that with a 5–7 record in 2023. If you thought that would be enough for Swinney to change his well-documented aversion to using the transfer portal, think again.
On paper, No. 8 Penn State entered 2024 as the third-best team in the Big Ten and a program that appeared primed to battle for one of the last handful of spots in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. Junior quarterback Drew Allar tossed three touchdown passes as the Nittany Lions cruised into Morgantown and came away with a convincing 34–12 victory over West Virginia.
Oregon, meanwhile, couldn’t gain separation from Idaho in their 24–14 win thanks to plenty of sloppiness. The Ducks had a missed field goal, a fumble on the edge of the red zone and two failed fourth down conversion attempts despite outgaining the Vandals by nearly 300 yards.
