The opening weekend of the 2024 college football season has been both eventful and lengthy, with teams nationwide making their debut. However, there's still one final game to play today, featuring a crucial matchup between ACC teams.

Florida State, the preseason favorite to win the ACC championship and secure the league's automatic College Football Playoff berth, heads into Monday night's game against Boston College after already suffering a loss to unranked Georgia Tech.





As a result, the Seminoles are likely to drop from their No. 10 spot in the AP Top 25 college football rankings when they are released on Tuesday afternoon. However, they have the opportunity to mitigate a steeper fall in the polls if they deliver a strong performance in their home opener today.

Thomas Castellanos will test Florida State's defense. The dual-threat quarterback for Boston College passed for 2,248 yards and rushed for 1,113 yards last season. Under new Eagles head coach Bill O'Brien, who is making his debut, Castellanos is expected to maintain or exceed those numbers. 

O'Brien, who has experience on Bill Belichick's NFL staff, takes over a team with a quarterback who threw for 350 yards and a touchdown, and rushed for 95 yards and another score, in a narrow 2-point loss to Florida State in last year's matchup.

Premier League Top Goal Scorers 2024/2025: EPL Golden Boot Standings as Haaland Nets Back-to-Back Hat-Tricks The 2024/25 Premier League season is here, bringing fresh chances for players to set records, score dramatic late goals, or even pull off an overhead kick. Last season, Erling Haaland continued his dominance at the top of the scoring charts despite a mid-season injury. Meanwhile, Cole Palmer made headlines with an impressive late-season performance, securing a second-place finish with a four-goal haul against Everton. As the new Premier League campaign kicked off, Mohamed Salah made history by scoring on opening day, becoming the first player to find the net in nine different opening fixtures. Erling Haaland quickly made his mark as well, netting his 91st goal in his 100th appearance for Manchester City during their 2-0 victory at Chelsea.

**Current Top Goalkeepers in the World: A Ranking** 10. Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia and Georgia) Goalkeepers typically reach their peak in their early 30s, so it’s exciting to imagine how exceptional Giorgi Mamardashvili could become, considering he’s still a decade away from that prime age. Standing at 6 feet 6 inches tall, the Valencia goalkeeper excels not only in claiming high balls and commanding his penalty area but also in reaching low shots that are often challenging for taller keepers. Euro 2024 marked Mamardashvili’s entry into the spotlight, as his standout performances for Georgia were instrumental in helping the team advance to the knockout stages. Given his impressive talent and growing reputation, a move to one of Europe’s top clubs seems inevitable. 9. Yann Sommer (Inter Milan and Switzerland) The experienced Swiss goalkeeper has reclaimed his best form this season, leaving a challenging stint at Bayern Munich behind him. After joining Inter Milan last summer, he pla...
