Submitted: Sept. 15, 2024, noon

Overall Rationale: TERR (Transitive Extrapolated Round Robin): Simulated round robin of all FBS teams based on head-to-head wins, then first-degree transitive wins, then second-degree transitive wins, then third-degree transitive wins, and so on. Records displayed as (#Wins-#Losses-#Ties). For early (i.e. before Week 4) polls, the final TERR ranking from last season will be the tiebreaker.
