The Post’s college football rankings, Heisman watch following Week 1
September 8, 2026
The Post’s Zach Braziller ranks the top teams after Week 1 of the college football season:
1. Ohio State (1-0)
The Buckeyes’ season really begins next Saturday against Texas in Austin. The opener, a 56-3 shellacking of Ball State, was more like a scrimmage with fans.
2. Notre Dame (1-0)
After a slow start, Notre Dame flexed its muscles in a 28-point rout of Wisconsin. The star of the day was Aneyas Williams, the new starting running back for the Irish who ran for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
3. Georgia (1-0)
It took Georgia 1:24 to score. They led 28-0 after the first quarter en route to a 63-3 demolition. Tennessee State got a check worth $600,000 for making the trip to Athens for the guarantee game. That was the lone positive for the Tigers.
