Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Sept. 22, 2024, 11:32 a.m.

Overall Rationale: All undefeated teams this early in the year. We'll have less than 25 undefeated teams after this week so I'll start bringing one loss teams in based on resume (it will be much easier to determine actual quality losses as we get more data points). Just outside the Top 25: Liberty, UM, USC, Oklahoma State, Clemson, Iowa, Nebraska, SMU, Washington, LSU, Boston College, Kansas State, Oklahoma, MSU, Oregon State, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Arkansas
