All the buzz in the college football world Tuesday morning wasn’t the Maryland Terrapins’ win over the scandal-plagued Miami Hurricanes Monday night, but the uniforms they did it in.

The Terps rocked home uniforms incorporating the Maryland state flag, splitting red and yellow on the helmet, shoulder pads and gloves. The uniforms, provided by Under Armor, whose founder Kevin Plank is an alumnus of the university, have received mixed reviews from football fans and fashionistas alike.

Another uniform under scrutiny in Week 1 were the black and neon green outfits worn by the Oregon Ducks in their loss to LSU Saturday night. Oregon gets numerous uni sets from Nike founder Phil Knight, an alumnus of that school’s track program. The Ducks' getup bordered on safety vest/electric Tron suits, and those radioactive gloves sure didn't help when it came to holding on to the football.

So in the spirit of those “Who wore it better?” debates in the rag mags, which college program rocked the best Week 1 uniforms – Maryland, Oregon or someone else?

Maryland's uniforms looked like a box of candy canes and a beehive tossed into a blender. Atrocious. If this were a beauty contest, I'm voting Oregon.

For pure class......no doubt about it.....the best looking all-white uniforms in history had to be those worn by Boise State vs Georgia! The shade of white, the bright orange shoes with royal blue trim and the single sided Bronco's horse head which completely covered only one side of the helmets, were awesome.

Honorable mention to the Red/Black/silver Nike Combat gear worn by the Georgia Bulldogs. The two teams definitely had the best two uniforms on one field at the same time.

Football, not a fashion show.
