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.

West Virginia opened the 2024 season with a 34-12 loss to Penn State on Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers got off to a slow start, and eventually fell behind after allowing a touchdown to end the first half and another one to start the second (after a long lightning delay). A late touchdown from CJ Donaldson was the only time the Mountaineers got into the endzone. EerSports was in attendance, both in the press box and on the sidelines. I was on the field, taking video of the action from a fresh perspective. Check out WVU's highlights and the wild atmosphere of the game, from the field, in the video above.

McNamara went 13 of 14 for 177 yards in addition to the three scores. He also showcased a different level of mobility, which he hasn't been able to do since he arrived to Iowa back in January 2023.

Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders: "First of all, I have a ton of respect for Matt Rhule. He's in... I call it our class of coaches. We all took on a tremendous test that year along with Coach (Kenny) Dillingham and several others. So I feel like we're a fraternity. So I root for that class of head coaches that came in that year. He was a professional, did a phenomenal job. Maybe not the job he aspired to do but he has a ton of experience and I love what he has accomplished in his college coaching career. So I look for them to be physically tough, imposing, try to run the football. They have a freshman quarterback (Dylan Raiola) that had a pretty good day last week. But we gotta do what we do. We gotta go in there and do what we're capable of doing. I think we showed glimpses of that in the second half in our first game against a formidable opponent."
