The 3 biggest winners, 4 biggest losers from Week 1 of college football Sep 01, 2019

Warning: This one goes quite a bit longer than the usual 15 minutes. There's plenty to talk about, as Connor and Trey discuss the four teams (or group of teams) with the Sunday Scaries and three teams or players having a Sunday Funday after having a night to sleep on Saturday's college football action. They also discuss five dark horses registering a compelling first bullet point to a potential Heisman resume.
