Full Week 1 Reaction: FSU Shocks Bama, Ohio St Stifles Texas | Just Another College Football Podcast

What a Week One! On this episode of Just Another College Football Podcast, we serve up the most explosive storylines from college football’s opening weekend:

Florida State stuns Alabama (31-17). The Seminoles, fresh off a 2-10 season, delivered a jaw-dropping win over No. 8 Alabama behind a dominant ground attack and a fearless debut from QB Tommy Castellanos. This wasn’t just an upset—it was a statement.

Ohio State shuts down No. 1 Texas (14-7). In a defensive slugfest, the Buckeyes held Arch Manning to underwhelming numbers and leaned on Julian Sayin’s poise in his first collegiate start. This win instantly reshapes the playoff landscape. 

We also break down what these outcomes mean for the season: FSU’s newfound legitimacy, Ohio State surging to No. 1 in the AP Poll, Texas reeling despite offensive flashes, and Alabama’s program in panic territory as locker-room tension surfaces.
