ESPN updates FPI rankings: Top two teams very familiar – Fighting Irish Wire

The first week of college football is almost entirely in the books as I type this early Sunday afternoon. Only Florida State invading Louisiana to take on LSU in Brian Kelly’s Tigers debut Sunday night and Clemson’s trip to Georgia Tech on Monday night remain.

Assuming Clemson doesn’t trip up in Atlanta, we’ll have gotten out of the first weekend without any major upsets. Alabama looked the part of a top team while Georgia certainly doesn’t look like it will be taking a step backward coming off a national championship.

Are there concerns for Ohio State‘s offense after it put up just 21 against Notre Dame or is there that much more to be excited about if you’re a Fighting Irish fan?
