Unpacking NFL's epic Week 1; College football rankings after Texas stunner over Ohio State

College football has a fresh leader atop the polls after Texas pulled off a sensational 24-23 comeback over Ohio State. Trailing 23-3 heading into the final quarter, quarterback Arch Manning overcame an earlier sluggish performance to spark the winning drive, cementing a major milestone in his collegiate career.

The collapse by Ryan Day's squad leaves the now sixth-ranked Buckeyes facing an uphill climb to the College Football Playoff, with five ranked teams still looming on their schedule. The Longhorns, meanwhile, have secured the No.

1 ranking across both the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll.

Elsewhere across the sports landscape, NFL Week 1 delivered high-scoring drama as the Buffalo Bills edged the Houston Texans 36-31, while the Minnesota Vikings rallied with 22 points in the final quarter to topple the Green Bay Packers. The opening week festivities also featured an intense Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants rivalry match, an international game in Australia, a Super Bowl rematch, and an upcoming Denver Broncos-Kansas City Chiefs tilt.

On the global stage, the United States women's basketball program captured its fifth straight World Cup gold medal by erasing an early 14-point deficit against a red-hot French squad, alongside updated MLB Power Rankings as playoff races intensify.
