Last week we saw Texas, Florida, Oklahoma & a few other perennial powerhouses struggle to beat their overmatched opponents. I wasn’t the least bit surprised, given that the aforementioned teams were replacing leaders across the board. However, I think all these teams bounce back in Week 2 and show us that they’re worthy of their preseason hype.
