Miami rises as Florida, Florida State fall and previewing Texas-Michigan in this week's podcast

The state of Florida schools and their college football fortunes are going different directions after the opening weekend of the season. Miami went into the Swamp and routed Florida, adding more pressure to the hot seat of Gators coach Billy Napier. Two days later, Florida State suffered its second ACC loss of the season in a humbling defeat at home to Boston College. The Seminoles started the season ranked No. 10 and are now out of the US LBM Coaches poll.
In other Week 1 action, Georgia showed it is still Georgia by beating Clemson. For the Tigers, it was another sign how far they have fallen from the top of college football. Southern California had one of the best results of the weekend, winning their first game as a member of the Big Ten in Las Vegas against LSU.
Looking ahead to Week 2, the standout game features No. 9 Michigan hosting No. 3 Texas. Both sides could use an early non-conference victory to their profile as they chase berths in the College Football Playoff. Another game that will attract attention is Colorado's visit to Nebraska with Deion Sanders looking to move the Buffaloes to 2-0. It's also an important game for Cornhuskers coach Matt Rhule, who saw freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola have a promising debut.
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports discuss these topics and more in this week's version of the College Football Fix.
