Week 1 of the college football season gave us our first glimpse at the teams expected to compete for the national title, and their performances warranted mixed reviews. While No. 1 Georgia passed a top-15 test with flying colors by dominating No. 14 Clemson 34-3, others ran into a little more trouble.

Though they each came away with double-digit wins, Big Ten teams Ohio State, Oregon and Michigan worked through some kinks. Things even got dicey in the fourth quarter for the Ducks and Wolverines before they came up with big plays to escape with wins.

All in all, the top teams did well to avoid upsets in an opening weekend that featured plenty of mayhem and drama. But that doesn’t mean they all received good grades. This early in the season, every team has things to clean up. The miscues were more evident and costly for some teams than others, and that’s reflected in our first batch of grades for the season.

Here are the Week 1 grades for each team with national title odds of +4000 or better.
