Overall Rationale
It still feels a lot like guessing at this point, but at least we got to watch some of these teams play competition with a pulse. Some of the rankings may seem reactionary, but there's just not that much data to include other than "that team looked really good!" UVA beat Arkansas like many teams beat up on buy game competition. Seems like at this point there is a drop from 15 (BYU) to 16 (Arizona) and below. The good part is that many of these teams are starting to play real competition already, so next week's poll should require a lot less guessing.
