    ESPN Updates Top 25 College Football Rankings After Opening Weekend

    By Max Escarpio,

    5 hours ago

    ESPN has officially updated its Top 25 FPI rankings following the Week Zero slate.

    The college football season kicked off with a bang when the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles were knocked off by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 24-21.

    Florida State and Georgia Tech were playing overseas in Dublin, Ireland, with the ESPN College GameDay crew following their match. It was a back-and-forth game that was ultimately decided by GT's dominance in the trenches.

    The Yellow Jackets kicker, Aidan Birr, turned into a Georgia Tech legend, punching in a 44-yard game-winning field goal to send the Seminoles home with a 0-1 record.
