Well the season kicked off last night with several top teams opening with "guarantee" games. Meaning they guarantee a smaller school to come play and receive a guaranteed payout usually several hundred thousand dollars, in return the bigger school being guaranteed a victory.
Last night it seemed to hold to form as I didn't notice any major upsets.
Here's a look at the AP Top 25 this week to get things started.
