A wild first weekend of college football has left us with a Power Rankings full of upset victors, pleasant surprises and a completely revamped top 10. ?Power Rankings voters: Edward Aschoff, Butch Davis, Heather Dinich, Brad Edwards, Chris Fallica, Rod Gilmore, Danny Kanell, Chris Low, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Brett McMurphy, Adam Rittenberg, Mark Schlabach1. Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 1 Week 1 result: Defeated USC 52-6Through all the chaos in this world, theres one constant: the Crimson Tides suffocating defense. Once freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts settled in, Alabama barreled toward a 52-6 destruction of USC that was Kickoff Weeks most impressive -- and intimidating -- performance.2. Florida State Seminoles (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 4 Week 1 result: Defeated Ole Miss 45-34The Seminoles trailed 28-6 late in the first half against Ole Miss before rallying for the 45-34 victory. Theyll get a tune-up against FCS Charleston Southern before another marquee matchup at Louisville in Week 3.3. Clemson Tigers (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: ?2 Week 1 result: Defeated Auburn 19-13Welcome back, Mike Williams. The Tigers star receiver returned from last seasons neck injury with nine catches for 174 yards vs. Auburn. Clemson needed all of it, too, in escaping The Plains with a closer-than-expected 19-13 victory.4.?Ohio State Buckeyes?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking: ?6 Week 1 result:?Defeated Bowling Green 77-10How were the Buckeyes going to deal with all that youth and inexperience? How about a 77-10 win over Bowling Green that included a school record for total offense (776 yards)? Yeah, talent helps. Theyre going to be just fine.5.?Houston Cougars?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking:?12 Week 1 result:?Defeated Oklahoma 33-23Its official: Houston belongs in the College Football Playoff discussion as a serious contender, not just a novelty, after taking down Oklahoma 33-23. They likely wont play a ranked team again until Louisville visits on Nov. 17.6.?Michigan Wolverines?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking:?8 Week 1 result:?Defeated Hawaii 63-3Amid the glitz and the glamour -- Michael Jordan and Derek Jeter were in the Big House for the opener -- the Wolverines went to work in dismantling Hawaii 63-3. Quarterback Wilton Speight and freshman running back Chris Evans form a promising new backfield.7.?Stanford Cardinal?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking:?7 Week 1 result:?Defeated Kansas State 26-13Christian McCaffrey: still amazing. He came to the rescue with a 41-yard touchdown run to put away Kansas State in a 26-13 win. The Wildcats had to feel good about limiting him to only 210 total yards.8.?Washington Huskies?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking:?14 Week 1 result:?Defeated Rutgers 48-13Were the heavily hyped Huskies all bark or did they actually have bite? It sure looked like the latter in a surprisingly easy 48-13 opening win over Rutgers. Washington led 34-3 at halftime.9.?Georgia Bulldogs?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking:?18 Week 1 result:?Defeated North Carolina 33-24A new coach (Kirby Smart), a new quarterback (former celebrated recruit Jacob Eason) and the return of a superstar (running back Nick Chubb) made for a prosperous night against North Carolina. After some shaky performances by Tennessee and Florida, Georgia might be the new favorite in the SEC East.10. Wisconsin Badgers?(1-0)Trending:?Preseason ranking: NR Week 1 result:?Defeated LSU 16-14One of the Big Tens most consistent programs, the Badgers werent ranked in the preseason in large part because of their daunting schedule. Well, they passed the first step of that gantlet by upsetting LSU 16-14 behind a stellar defensive effort at Lambeau Field.11. Texas Longhorns (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking:?NR Week 1 result: Defeated Notre Dame 50-47 (2OT)A crowd-surfing Charlie Strong is always a delightful sight. Welcome back to the Power Rankings, Longhorns. The new offense led by Shane Buechele (with a few cameos by Tyrone Swoopes) could keep you here a while.12. Louisville Cardinals (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 19 Week 1 result: Defeated Charlotte 70-14Lamar Jackson put his name in the super-early Heisman Trophy conversation by accounting for eight touchdowns in a single half during a 70-14 romp over FBS newbie Charlotte. The Cardinals go to Syracuse this week before hosting Florida State in Week 3.13. Michigan State Spartans (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 13 Week 1 result: Defeated Furman 28-13Mark Dantonios teams often start a bit slow, so maybe we shouldnt read too much into a sloppy 28-13 victory over Furman. New starting QB Tyler OConnor (13-for-18 for 190 yards and three TDs) was solid enough. After a bye, the Spartans go to Notre Dame.14. Ole Miss Rebels (0-1)Trending:Preseason ranking: ?11 Week 1 result: Lost to No. 3 Florida State 45-34The big first half showed the Rebels potential, and Chad Kelly is clearly one of the best quarterbacks in the country. But the second-half collapse raised major questions about the defense.15. Texas A&M Aggies (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking:?NR Week 1 result: Defeated UCLA 31-24The Aggies coughed up a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter against UCLA but managed to win in overtime. The jury is still out on a team that has fooled us in the opening week before, but the defense vs. Josh Rosen for three and a half quarters portends good things.16. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (0-1)Trending:Preseason ranking: 10 Week 1 result: Lost to Texas 50-47 (2OT)Would the Irish have beaten Texas had they stuck with DeShone Kizer the entire game? He was clearly the superior option compared to Malik Zaire, but as of Tuesday morning, Brian Kelly hadnt yet committed to dropping the two-quarterback system.17.?Oklahoma Sooners?(0-1)Trending:?Preseason ranking: ?3 Week 1 result:?Lost to Houston 33-23All is not lost for the Sooners, who after all made the playoff last year despite losing to a mediocre Texas club. Still, the margin for error has all but vanished now, and a Week 3 visit looms from a team that plays like Houston with arguably more talent: Ohio State.18. Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking:?23 Week 1 result: Defeated Miami (Ohio) 45-21The Hawkeyes picked up pretty much where they left off in the 2015 regular season (and not, thankfully for them, the postseason) with a 45-21 win over Miami (Ohio). Running backs Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels Jr. combined for more than 200 rushing yards.19. Tennessee Volunteers (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 9 Week 1 result: Defeated Appalachian State 20-13Was the sweat-it-out, overtime victory over Appalachian State an opening-week blip or a sign of bigger problems? Well find out more this week when the Volunteers play Virginia Tech in the Battle at Bristol.20. TCU Horned Frogs (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 15 Week 1 result: Defeated South Dakota State 59-41It was pretty weird to see a Gary Patterson team serve up 41 points to South Dakota State and be in a tight game well into the fourth quarter. More encouraging: the debut of Texas A&M transfer Kenny Hill at quarterback (439 passing yards and five total TDs).21. Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking:?21 Week 1 result: Defeated Southeastern Louisiana 61-7Stanford transfer Barry Sanders Jr. scored his first touchdown for his fathers alma mater as the Cowboys rolled past Southeast Louisiana 61-7. The game was such a lopsided affair that Mike Gundy began pulling his starters in the second quarter.22. LSU Tigers (0-1)Trending:Preseason ranking: 5 Week 1 result: Lost to Wisconsin 16-14The Tigers managed only 131 passing yards and one offensive score in a 16-14 loss to Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, continuing a downward offensive trend. If Les Miles cant fix that, he may not be able to save the season -- or his job.23. Baylor Bears (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking:?22 Week 1 result: Defeated Northwestern State 55-7No program was happier to turn the discussion back to actual football than the Bears. There isnt a whole lot to say about a 55-7 blowout of lowly Northwestern State other than how quarterback Seth Russell put it: It felt like Baylor.24. UCLA Bruins (0-1)Trending:Preseason ranking: 17 Week 1 result: Lost to Texas A&M 31-24Thumbs up for the raucous fourth-quarter comeback against Texas A&M, when the Bruins sent the game to overtime despite trailing by 15 points with under five minutes left. Thumbs down for the listless performance over three-plus quarters that got them to that point.25. Oregon Ducks (1-0)Trending:Preseason ranking: 20 Week 1 result: Defeated UC Davis 53-28Concerns about the Ducks defense didnt evaporate in a 53-28 victory over UC Davis, but new quarterback Dakota Prukop had an efficient day (21-for-30, 271 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions). Oregon hosts Virginia next.Others receiving votes: North Carolina, Boise State, Florida, Miami, San Diego State, Western Michigan, Colorado, Appalachian State? Cheap Nike SB NZ Free Shipping .

The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. MONTREAL -- Coach Brent Sutter likes the idea of facing real competition at the Canadian junior hockey teams summer camp. Hell get that this year as players vying for spots on Canadas world junior championship team skate together for two days at the Montreal Canadiens practice rink and then head to Lake Placid, N.Y. for exhibition games against Finland, Sweden and the United States. Sutter says that easily beats holding intra-squad match-ups. "Change is good," Sutter said Saturday as the players arrived at the team hotel from across the country. "Talking to some players about it, theyre excited. "Its different from going through an evaluation, with red-white games. Now youre playing Sweden, Finland and the Americans and theyre bringing their best. Well get a better sense of where were at. And, as a coaching staff, its new for us too." The camp, which opens with practices Sunday and Monday in Brossard, Que., is the first step in selecting the team that will play at the world junior championship Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Malmo, Sweden. The players returning from the team that finished fourth in Ufa, Russia last year -- forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin and defencemen Morgan Rielly and Griffin Reinhart -- will skate the first two days but will not travel to Lake Placid. Those four have already shown what they can do, and leaving them behind will give more ice time to those the coaches know less about. "Were taking 32 guys and its a lot of bodies," said Sutter. "Youve got to get everybody in at least one game. "It gives us a better feel for everybody else." Jake Paterson was on last years team as the third goalie, but didnt play. He will go to Lake Placid. Sutter also likes that there are fewer players than the usual 45 or so at summer camp, so he has only what he called "the cream of the crop" to evaluate. The group includes Erie Otters star Connor McDavid, who has a good shot at becoming a rare 16-year-old to make the squad. The gifted winger is already the favourite to go first overall in the 2015 NHL draft. Sutter said hes watched McDavid on video, and is looking forward to seeing what he can do against the worlds top juniors. He said he wouldnt be shocked if he ends up on the roster when the team is picked in December. "Hes obviously an elite player," he sad. "A top player on his club team. "He dominated at the under-18s, so were actually thrilled that hes part of this and hes certainly going to get an opportunity to show us what he can do. When you have special players, there are special circumstances and hes certainly in one of those situations. "Well see how it all unfolds. Theres no guarantee of anything come Chriistmas time, but the fact is, he has a opportunity here to compete against the best players and play with the best players and well see how he manages that.dddddddddddd" Sutter has had special talent on his teams before. Sidney Crosby played as a 17-year-old at the 2005 world juniors. Another "underage" player in camp is 17-year-old Kootenay Ice forward Sam Reinhart, who is expected to go high in the 2014 draft. Before becoming an NHL head coach, Sutter coached the national junior squad for three years, winning gold in 2005 and 2006 and leading Canada to a 7-0-1 record in an eight-game Super-series against Russia in 2007. His record in those events was 19-0-1. Hes aware that some of the players in camp wont be available in December because theyll be playing for NHL clubs. MacKinnon and Drouin, linemates on the Memorial Cup champion Halifax Mooseheads, were top draft picks, with MacKinnon going first overall to Colorado and Drouin third overall to Tampa Bay. Both have a good shot of staying in the NHL. Drouin said the camp may be the last time he and MacKinnon will skate together. "Me and Nate have played together so long," he said. "I think well enjoy it. "I dont know what Im going to be doing next year, playing in the NHL or in junior, but I dont choose that. Its up to Tampa. But its not a bad thing to come back and play in Sweden for Team Canada." Sutter said he has about a dozen players in camp with a chance to at least start the 2013-14 campaign with NHL clubs. But they still need to meet their teammates and learn the playing system in case they end up going to Malmo. "Youve got to accept that theres a chance you wont have them for Christmas, but you never know," said Sutter. "So when they leave here they need to know what this is. "They have to have that in the back of their heads so that if they come back, its not an unknown to them." The camp invitees include Winnipeg Jets prospects goalie Eric Comrie, defenceman Josh Morrissey and forward Nicolas Petan. The Toronto Maple Leafs have four -- blue-liners Rielly and Matthew Finn and forwards Frederic Gauthier and Ryan Rupert. "I played in (the under 18s) in Sochi in April and I wanted to get invited to this," said Gauthier. "Its a big tournament and you always hope to be there one day and to live that moment. I want to give my best." The Calgary Flames have three forwards in camp, Mark Jankowski, Sean Monahan and Emile Poirier, while the Montreal Canadiens have goalie Zachary Fucale and forward Charles Hudon. The Vancouver Canucks have forwards Hunter Shinkaruk and Brendan Gaunce. The Edmonton Oilers have defenceman Darnell Nurse and forward Curtis Lazar. ' ' '
