OK, I’m discounting the strength of the competition, just going by the W-L numbers. With that as the criteria:
ACC 11-3
Big 12 7-3
Big 10 12-2
Pac 12 7-5
SEC 7-7 (including South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt, which obviously put 1 W and 1 L on the ledger)
Pac 12 and SEC had the worst week one, then, but Big 12 not far behind.
In games involved Top 25 teams:
Tennessee was extremely fortunate to survive Appalachian State in overtime, 20-13.
Stanford found Kansas State irritating and troubling, 26-13.
Michigan State only beat puny level Furman, 28-13 (Furman has been one of WVU’s gimme payday opponents).
Clemson only beat Auburn, 33-23.
Oklahoma lost to Houston, 33-23. Ouch!
LSU lost to Wisconsin, 16-14.
TCU survived South Dakota State (!), 59-41.
UCLA lost to Texas A&M, 31-24.
Florida only won its gimmee payday game against Umass, 24-7.
Notre Dame lost to Texas, 50-47.
