Per ESPN: KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Dan Ellington threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score as 26-point underdog Georgia State upset Tennessee 38-30 on Saturday in one of the first stunners of the college football season.

Georgia State (1-0) beat a Power Five opponent for the first time since this Sun Belt Conference school launched its program in 2010. The Panthers' closest call before this had come in 2016, when they lost 23-17 to Wisconsin after leading in the fourth quarter. Read more.

Meanwhile, LSU-Florida is a permanent cross-division rivalry that is between equals. Sheesh. Gimme a break, Sankey.

"Nebraska is WAAAAAAY better than Tennessee's pathetic azz. Nebraska is ranked"..... as if rankings matter at this point in the season. Nebraska got outplayed at home by South Alabama (3-9 last season). It took two defensive TDs and a punt return TD for Nebraska to win that one. They only gained 276 yards of offense. Nebraska's not good at all.
