Week 1 Rankings
So, how was your first week? Plenty of excitement, just watching the games themselves. TCU looked damn good, a couple of scares for Oklahoma & Florida, some big upsets for I-AA teams - an all around good weekend.
As is customary for the first few weeks of the season, we'll focus on the conference race first. The Big12 would've been a perfect 12-0 had Kansas not laid down against North Dakota State, including some good wins over the Pac10 & Big10. Right behind them are the Big10, SEC, and ACC, all of whom lost 2 games but won others. The MtnWest had a big week with TCU & BYU winning big and Utah getting past Pitt, though UNLV, New Mexico, and Colorado State didn't help the league any.

And as usual, we have to add a disclaimer to the first week of team rankings. Say it with me: these rankings measure achievement, not power, and so far, these teams at the very top have achieved the most - they all went on the road and beat someone by a significant margin of victory. The teams at the very bottom lost at home by a lot. Simple, right? The computer doesn't care that Iowa would destroy all but a handful of the teams out there - it only sees that they mauled Eastern Illinois, a I-AA team, at home.
Things will start working themselves out as the weeks go by, and we should have a relatively stable ranking by October. Until then, just enjoy the games.
