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.
