1. Michigan (1-0): J.J. McCarthy (26-for-30, 280 yards, three TDs) and Wolverines defense (one second from shutout) overwhelm East Carolina 30-3 even without suspended coach Jim Harbaugh.
2. Penn State (1-0): Hotshot QB Drew Allar now has the reins and comes out slinging vs. West Virginia for 325 yards and three TDs.
3. Ohio State (1-0, 1-0 Big Ten): Buckeyes defense allowed only 82 passing yards in 23-3 win at Indiana, but all that offensive talent needs to do better. Style points matter come playoff selection time.
4. Iowa (1-0): Michigan transfer Cade McNamara threw TD passes in the first two series, but Hawkeyes did little the rest of the way in 24-14 win over Utah State.
5. Wisconsin (1-0): With Chez Mellusi and Braelon Allen combining for 298 rushing yards and four TDs, Badgers didn't need much from their Air Raid attack in 38-17 win over Buffalo.
6. Gophers (1-0, 1-0): Is your glass half-full or half-empty? Only three points for Gophers through 57:28 and 55 rushing yards total, but two forced turnovers, a catch for the ages and a walk-off 47-yard field goal produce a 13-10 win over Nebraska.
7. Maryland (1-0): Taulia Tagovailoa passes for three TDs and rushes for one as the Terps barely break a sweat in 38-6 win over Towson.
8. Illinois (1-0): Fighting Illini needed a field goal with 5 seconds left for a 30-28 win over Toledo, one of the favorites in the Mid-American Conference. They'll need to be sharper at Kansas on Friday.
