NCAA Football Rankings - 24 Sep

There hasn't been a dominant team so far in college football, and a ton of teams are still undefeated, including the 2-time defending champs, but even they haven't looked like their usual selves, despite a 4-0 start to the season. The Power 5 conferences are all represented in the top 10, while only 1 non-Power 5 team even appears in the top 25 this week. Here are my initial season rankings, with last season's final ranking shown under the LW column, projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and projected playoff teams in red:
