College football scores: Complete results, highlights from Week 1’s top-25 games

By | September 3, 2022

Saturday marks the first full slate of college football games in 2022, with all but one of the remaining top 25 teams playing.

Where to start? That would be No. 8 Michigan vs. Colorado State or No. 13 N.C. State at East Carolina, the first nationally televised games involving top-25 teams. Of course, the biggest games don’t start until 3:30 p.m. when defending College Football Playoff champion Georgia, ranked No. 3, takes on No. 11 Oregon in Atlanta.

There’s also College Football Playoff buster No. 23 Cincinnati at No. 19 Arkansas in that time slot, and No. 7 Utah at Florida at 7 p.m. Fans who want to watch the top-ranked team in the country β€” Alabama β€” will have to go to SEC Network as the Crimson Tide take on Utah State ahead of a blockbuster game vs. Texas in Week 2.

But the biggest game Saturday undoubtedly is the meeting of Midwest powers: No. 5 Notre Dame, headed by first-year coach Marcus Freeman, against his alma mater, No. 2 Ohio State.
