Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 3, 2024, 11:19 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Week 1 polls are still mostly vibes-based tbh. I will not rank teams that are consistently overrated (USC, A&M, LSU, etc.) until they actually demonstrate that they deserve to be, and to this point they have not.

| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
(-) #1 until proven otherwise. |

Michigan Wolverines

(-) |

(-) |
