There is a No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll. Nobody doubted it after Texas lost to Georgia on Saturday. What we don’t know is if the Oregon Ducks will handle the job better than the last time they were ranked on top.

I like Oregon’s chances to stick around for a while. They’re focused and playing like a national title contender. More on the new mission of Dan Lanning’s Ducks in a moment.

Meanwhile, Cal fans have turned on Justin Wilcox. What can USC do with Lincoln Riley’s contract? How about Kalen DeBoer at Alabama? What’s wrong at Utah? And what must Oregon State do to piece together a successful season?

What’s fixed?

What’s broken?

Who is the best major college football head coach nobody is talking about? And what do I make of the successes at Army, Navy, and Indiana?

My Sunday thoughts…
