Submitted: Sept. 3, 2024, 2:59 p.m.

Overall Rationale: I like disregarding the opening AP poll and just ranking off of what we saw on the weekend. Teams that consistently performed how they were supposed to in their games were given the nod between two teams I’d figure to be even. The only ones I feel that need some explanation are UNLV, who took a P4 team to the shed in their own stadium, and Vandy, but that’s just because they’re just such lovable little scamps.
