2024 Unitted Athletic Conference Football Predictions

And then there is the Cap'n Poll. You can see it here first:

1. Tarleton State (Auto playoff bid)
2. Abilene Christian (At large playoff bid)
3. Central Arkansas
4. Eastern Kentucky
5. Southern Utah
6. Austin Peay
7. North Alabama
8. Utah Tech
9. West Georgia

Justification:

Central Arkansas has a scheduling problem. They play at home against Southern Utah and at ACU, at EKU and at TSU.
Tarleton, meanwhile. plays ACU, UCA and EKU at home and at Southern Utah
ACU plays UCA and EKU and Southern Utah at home and at TSU.

This is a perfect schedule for Tarleton and a great scenario for ACU to swoop in and grab one of the top spots. With our strength of schedule, an at-large invite into the playoffs is realistic.
