CBS Sports says nine teams entered its rankings after being unranked in the pre-season, while Dabo Swinney’s coaching and quarterback decisions faced immediate scrutiny.
Early Week 1 results have reshaped CBS Sports’ college football power rankings, with new teams moving near the top of its assessment of the season’s contenders.
The coverage says nine teams entered the rankings after being unranked in the pre-season. It does not identify those teams or specify their positions.
CBS Sports also focused on Dabo Swinney’s decision to rehire Chad Morris and bypass transfer quarterbacks. The outlet characterised the outcome as having “backfired immediately”.
