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?Yeezy Baratas España .

Zapatillas Yeezy Baratas .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. Adidas Tubular Baratas .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does.OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors have landed a coveted free agent -- just not the one everybody was talking about. The Warriors reached an agreement with swingman Andre Iguodala on a $48 million, four-year deal Friday, two people with knowledge of the situation said. The people spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because NBA rules prevent confirmation of moves until July 10. One person said the Warriors cleared more than $24 million in salary cap space by sending Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins and Brandon Rush to the Utah Jazz along with a package of draft picks. Yahoo Sports, which first reported the deal, said the Warriors were only taking back Kevin Murphy and his non-guaranteed $788,000 deal for next season. Utah also will receive multiple draft picks from Golden State, including its 2014 and 2017 first-round picks. While the Warriors had hoped to sign Dwight Howard, the seven-time All-Star centre informed the team he would not sign with them. Howard wrote on Twitter a few hours later that the Houston Rockets are "the best place for me." Instead, Golden State unloaded its expiring contracts for what it believes was the next best player on the market. The complicated moves give the rejuvenated franchise, fresh off an appearance in the second round of the playoffs and with a stockpile of promising young talent, a potent scorer and perimeter defender to team with point guard Stephen Curry and company. And for Iguodala, its a chance to play with another contender. Iguodala averaged 13 points, 5.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds last season for the Denver Nuggets, who lost in six games to the Warriors in the opening round of the playoffs. He spent his first eight years in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and has averaged 15.1 points on 46 per cent shooting for his career. The Nuggets were hoping to entice Iguodala to come back to the Mile High City, especially because he could return on a five-year deal while the most he could get elsewhere was four years. The Nuggets offered Iguodala a five-year contract worth $60 million with $52 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the situation said, adding that Iguodala wouldve made only $4 million in the final year of the frontloaded deal. Sacramento, led by new general manager and former Denver executive Pete DAlessandro, also sought Iguodalas services. The Kings reportedly offered Iguodala a four-year deal worth at least $52 million but pulled the offer when Iguodala didnt immediately agree, in part, because they didnt want to be ussed as leverage.dddddddddddd The departure of Denvers top defender could be a big blow to a team that won a franchise-best 57 games during the regular season only to flop in the first round again. This already had been a tumultuous off-season for the Nuggets, who had NBA Executive of the Year Masai Ujiri leave to take over as general manager in Toronto. Later, the team severed ties with Coach of the Year George Karl. A few Nuggets players turned to Twitter to express their feelings on Iguodalas decision to bolt for the Warriors. "It was a pleasure. Great guy!" forward Wilson Chandler wrote. Speedy point guard Ty Lawson said: "Smh!!!!" (shaking my head) and later added, "Business is business." Iguodala even sent a message to Curry that ended with the phrase, "LETS GET IT!!!!" Curry responded by saying it would be a great four years. On the flip side, the biggest boon for Utah might be three veterans with expiring contracts, which will give the Jazz tons of space when a slew of top free agents hit the open market next summer. Jefferson is due about $11 million, Biedrins $9 million and Rush $4 million in the final year of their deals. While production from Jefferson and Biedrins has declined substantially, Rush was considered Golden States top reserve and perimeter defender until he tore a ligament in his left knee in the home opener. Rush has averaged 9.1 points and 3.6 rebounds since he was drafted 13th overall out of Kansas in 2008 by Portland, which immediately traded him to Indiana. "Only makes me work harder," Rush tweeted. The Warriors had been chasing Iguodala for years, but the right move never came together until now. General manager Bob Myers had said all along that despite the teams perceived salary cap restrictions that a big-time free agent could be signed this summer. The Warriors also will renounce their rights to restricted free agent guard Jarrett Jack to clear space for Iguodala -- a price they believe is more than enough for his addition, which could push standout rookie Harrison Barnes into a reserve role, albeit a leading one. Jack had helped the Warriors go from a 23-43 team during the lockout-shortened season to a 47-35 team last year, earning the conferences sixth seed and upsetting Denver in the first round. But mounting injuries wore the Warriors down and the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs sent Golden State home in six games. "Well," Jack wrote on Twitter, "it was fun while it lasted." ' ' '
