Kalen DeBoer's team leaps along with another SEC titan after lighting up the scoreboard. New rankings are here from ESPN's updated College Football Power Index Top 25 after a wild Saturday across the sport.

A live projection of the latest AP Top 25 rankings during a wild first full weekend of college football. USC should rise several spots in Tuesday's new AP Top 25 rankings after taking out LSU, 27-20, in Las Vegas on Sunday. Woody Marks' touchdown run with eight seconds to play gave Lincoln Riley one of his best wins with the Trojans. Miami looked the part during Saturday's splattering of Florida, one of several eye-opening performances across Week 1 in college football that is sure to alter Tuesday's new AP Top 25 rankings. Top-ranked Georgia's blowout of No. 14 Clemson proved Kirby Smart's team hasn't missed a beat and Penn State's Drew Allar-led victory at West Virginia gives the Big Ten another contender this fall.

Offense was at a premium on Saturday in Atlanta through the first half as the Georgia Bulldogs held just a marginal 6-0 lead over the Clemson Tigers. As both teams came out of the locker room to finish their first games of the 2024 college football season, it seemed like anything could happen to shake up the rankings with the No. 1 team only leading the No. 14 team by less than a score.

An updated look at the league's best and worst teams after their 2024 debuts. The SEC teams projected for elite status looked the part. The ones somewhere in-between largely fell short in Week 1, according to updated league-wide power rankings. Top-ranked Georgia's statement in Atlanta against Clemson was the high mark for the conference while losses to nationally-ranked teams by Florida, Texas A&M and LSU were disappointing. Even Vanderbilt surprised with a season-opening victory.
