Submitted: Aug. 17, 2024, 12:35 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Alright, so a new season of CFB is in the horizons and it’s gonna be weird to see new teams in the B1G, SEC, Big XII, and ACC as the Pac 12 is no more and gonna feel weird for this coming season. That said it’s gonna be exciting, although Michigan lost a few key components of their National Championship team from last season, but they will still have the incumbent advantage. No team had as much drastic drop as Washington, but they still are in my poll squeaking at #25. I don’t know how this season will play out, but it should be a fun one this season.
