Dropped: Arkansas, FAU, Villanova, USC Others Considered: UCLA, Michigan State, SDSU, Arkansas, FAU, USC Eye test, current rosters(less so on this over the next few weeks), big wins, and a little analytics helped with this ranking (I'll probably factor the computer rankings in more as they get more reliable as the season goes on)
