As Week 2 of the college football season approaches, every Top 25 team faces its own set of challenges and concerns. Here’s a look at the most pressing issues for some of the top-ranked teams:
**Georgia**: The Bulldogs opened the season with a dominant win, but concerns linger about their passing game. With Stetson Bennett gone, the new quarterback will need to prove he can lead the team against tougher opponents. The offensive line’s consistency is also under scrutiny.
**Michigan**: With Jim Harbaugh serving a suspension, Michigan’s coaching staff must ensure the team remains focused and disciplined. Their offensive rhythm was shaky in Week 1, and they’ll need to refine their play-calling and execution.
**Alabama**: The Crimson Tide face uncertainty at quarterback, with Jalen Milroe still gaining experience. Additionally, Alabama’s secondary showed vulnerabilities that could be exploited by stronger offenses.
**Ohio State**: The Buckeyes struggled to find offensive consistency in their opener. Quarterback Kyle McCord had a mixed debut, and the team needs to develop better chemistry in the passing game. Their defense, while improved, still has gaps that need to be addressed.
**USC**: Caleb Williams is a star, but USC’s defense remains a concern. Despite a strong start offensively, the Trojans allowed too many yards and points, raising questions about their ability to compete with top-tier offenses.
**LSU**: After a disappointing loss to Florida State, LSU must address its defensive weaknesses. The Tigers struggled to contain big plays and will need to tighten up their secondary and pass rush.
As these teams prepare for Week 2, each will need to address these concerns to maintain their standing in the Top 25 and keep their championship hopes alive.
