The most recent ESPN power rankings.
College football Power Rankings after Week 1
11. Florida Gators (1-0)
With quarterback Anthony Richardson behind center, suddenly it feels as if the Gators have a chance to exceed outside expectations - especially after a 29-26 win over Utah. Richardson had three touchdowns and 274 total yards, while his offensive line played a dominant game up front. Though the defense struggled to contain Utah quarterback Cam Rising and their terrific tight ends, Amari Burney made the play that needed to happen with an interception in the end zone to seal the victory. -- Adelson
Up next: vs. Kentucky (Saturday, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App)
About last week's opponent.
16. Utah Utes (0-1)
The Utes played the type of game they wanted to against Florida but have to be lamenting the missed opportunities after a 29-26 loss. Utah dominated the Gators up front on the offensive line, rushing for 230 yards on the ground, but failed to score any points on multiple trips inside the Florida 6-yard line. Two other trips inside the Florida 25-yard line ended in field goals. Then with a chance to tie or win, Cam Rising threw an interception in the end zone -- an unlikely finish considering how well he played in the game (216 yards passing, 91 yards rushing). -- Andrea Adelson
Up next: vs. Southern Utah (Saturday, 1:30 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network)
