Miami, LSU Dominate in Week 1, Eyeing National Title Streaks
Confirmed
In Short: In the first week of the college football season, Miami and LSU showcased their dominance, setting them apart as potential national title contenders.
Miami and LSU both delivered impressive performances in their opening games, impressing the College Football Playoff Selection Committee with their blowout victories against Power Four opponents, according to CBS Sports.
LSU, in particular, stands out with a challenging schedule ahead, facing five nationally ranked teams this season, compared to just one for Miami, as reported by CBS Sports.
The Miami Hurricanes' Darian Mensah-to-Malachi Toney connection was particularly noteworthy, with Mensah throwing for 401 yards, as highlighted by CBS Sports.
While Miami is unlikely to face significant tests before November, LSU's early schedule could provide a strong foundation for their national title aspirations, according to CBS Sports.
