Let's put in a new version of our Sunday Snap Judgments, with a Good, Bad, and Ugly, finishing with the Actually Accomplished Rankings. Let's get to it.

A look at the newcomers who saw the field in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday. No. 1 Georgia and No. 14 Clemson looked destined to relive their 2021 defensive slugfest after two quarters of play on Saturday. The narrative changed after halftime, as Carson Beck and the Bulldogs finally got clicking on their way to a one-sided victory.

Ohio State ultimately ended up defeating Akron 52-6 yesterday, a game which was only 17-3 at halftime. Winning by six touchdowns is probably in line with everyone's expectations, but it sure was a little underwhelming for a while before Ohio State ultimately took over. Look, you can't nitpick these kinds...

Virginia football opened up its season on Saturday evening with Richmond headed to Scott Stadium. However, the 'Hoos opponents were not the only group from the 804 in attendance. UVA welcomed a number of high school prospects from the Richmond-area for the game, including a highly recruited 2026 recruit, Top247 offensive lineman Darius Gray.

Syracuse football started the 2024 season with a 38-22 win over Ohio giving Fran Brown a victory in his head coaching debut. There were plenty of things to discuss from the performance, but here are five takeaways for the Orange. 1. McCord is the Real Deal. Kyle McCord set career...

Everyone on Nebraska's schedule won through Saturday's action. The USC Trojans are set to play on Sunday against LSU, but every other team took advantage of what will be the lightest scheduled week of the year. Only four of the 11 remaining teams Nebraska plays this year faced FBS teams...

Some of Nebraska's top dogs didn't have to punch the clock for too many snaps in the 40-7 win over UTEP. That happens when the other team snaps it only 50 times and just 21 of those came in the first half as NU established a 30-7 halftime lead. Because of that, NU's top four defensive linemen of Ty Robinson, Nash Hutmacher, Jimari Butler and Cameron Lenhardt all played 21 snaps or less.

The Cowboys ended the Jackrabbits' 29-game winning streak with a steady 44-20 win to begin the season 1-0 for a tenth-straight season. "It was a really good win. First game of the season, which, we all know is always a little scary, (but) not quite as much for us this year with all the returning starters. But as I have said for months, (SDSU) doesn't make a lot of mistakes. They're very well coached. They're tough. We had to take the game from them, like I thought we would have to; they weren't gonna give us the game. They had opportunities at times. A couple of times we dropped coverage and they had a chance to hit it, make a play, but they didn't. Sometimes that works for you, sometimes it doesn't. Those are areas we need to be better in, but overall, I was pleased with the performance. From a discipline standpoint, we only had one penalty, which is really good. And I thought we were good in special teams, not excellent, because we gave up a couple of returns --- too many yards --- and we missed tackles. But overall in special teams, our ability to punt, flip the field, down the ball inside the 5-yard line and perform in the P.A.T. field goal was really good. So, we're good in special teams, good in penalties, good in hidden yards. We rushed the ball for 127 yards, 38 carries. We're a little bit under what we should be. We should be about almost a yard more per carry. But overall, it was good for us. Got a lot of work to do. I shared with those guys that in all three phases there's gonna be some really good video, based on what I was told on the headphones from the tablets. Because, obviously, we can watch video on the tablets now, so we know a lot more during the game than we used to. So, it'll be some really good teaching as we move forward. (It) gives us a chance to relax more tonight."

The Buckeyes scored often, particularly from the end of the first quarter on and went on to a 52-6 victory over Akron in their 2024 season opener and they did it in front of a talented group of recruits. Bucknuts has reactions from many recruits who were at the game.

Participation status of each true freshman. After a two hour weather delay Saturday night, Kentucky finally took to Kroger Field against Southern Mississippi. It was a rocky start for both teams on offense but first-year starter Brock Vandagriff and UK settled in before the game was called early in the second half. Despite the shortened game, the Wildcats were able to get their feet wet ahead of next weekend's SEC opener against South Carolina and still emerge with a victory, 31-0. Unfortunately, it took away an opportunity for several young players to earn valuable play time.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State covered the spread and played one of their better season openers in the win against South Dakota State Saturday. The Cowboys scored 44 points and put up nearly 400 yards of offense. The defense kept the Jackrabbits out of the endzone for the first half, something that happened just three times in 2023.

Florida has the deepest roster in the Billy Napier era. Graham Mertz is poised for a breakout year. The offseason additions on defense, from the veteran players acquired in the transfer portal to the coaching changes, set the Gators up to make necessary improvements in 2024.

NORMAN, Okla. – While there were a few good games on TV, I decided instead to rewatch the Temple/Oklahoma game on Saturday. The exercise reinforced most of my initial impressions from the contest, but also filled in some gaps for things that I missed. The storyline didn't change. Oklahoma's...

Th performance by South Carolina against Old Dominion was far from fine, but it was enough to come away with a 23-19 victory, thanks in large part to four turnovers forced over the course of the game. Freshman Dylan Stewart forced a fumble, which was recovered by DeAndre Jules, with just under seven minutes left in the game to set up the go-ahead touchdown.

The rain delay may have cut the visit to Virginia a little shorter than expected for Damon Ferguson, but the Cavaliers made sure to let the talented Baltimore (Md.) Milford athlete that he is wanted by extending an offer on Saturday. "The offer means a lot," said Ferguson. "[Virginia head]...

QB Gavin Wimsatt (Kentucky) Wimsatt was the highest-profile transfer of the year for Rutgers as he started the prior 17 games before entering the portal after spring practice. The Kentucky season opener against Southern Miss experienced a weather delay that lasted more than two hours. The night would be even longer for Wimsatt, who did not get on the field for a single play in Kentuclky's 31-0 win over Southern Miss. Prior to the start of the season, there was talk of Wimsatt having a wildcat package as he drew praise for his running ability in training camp. He will have to wait to make his Kentucky debut. next week, the Wildcats will host South Carolina.

In his postgame opening statement, Matt Rhule excitedly pointed to how many Huskers got to play in the 40-7 season-opening win over UTEP. Nebraska worked deep into the depth chart while accumulating 507 yards and running 83 offensive plays. Dylan Raiola played 62 of those snaps, according to Pro Football...
