This is not a power poll. I don't attempt to rank teams based on how good I think they are. I only rank teams based on their resume. What have they done? Not how talented are their players or what other polls project them to do, but what have they done? The poll is designed to be dynamic. I try to start from scratch every week.
Same as always. Quality losses, quality wins. Not a power poll. If a team plays bad opponents then that team needs to win convincingly.
Notes: Too soon to rank FSU? Other polls have West Virginia, Auburn, and Southern Miss ranked. Make a case for any team and FSU can be bumped. FSU has 2 'quality losses' one not so good loss and 3 blowout wins over 2 bad teams and 1 decent team. Clemson loss to Georgia Tech is not a bad loss, though it certainly counts against them. Georgia Tech lowered themselves as a great opponent with a loss to Virginia. But they are certainly not a bad team. Penn State keeps winning. Ugly. But they keep winning. What about Boise? As other teams start rounding out their schedules against better teams, Boise might start losing ground with questionable opponents and find themselves behind a number of one loss teams.
Remember: DO YOUR COLLEGE PICK'EM. Looked like a lot of people missed last week.
