Overall Rationale: So this week I only ranked the unbeaten teams. I'll be honest. That was hard. With only 37 teams in FBS that remain unbeaten there's quite a few teams like Wake Forest, Indiana, and Minnesota which I don't currently think have any business in the top 25 and so only trimming down 12 (or 13 because I decided to rank NDSU; any team that beats Iowa is golden in my book) is a lot more difficult. That said I'm not sure which of the teams with 1 loss I would pick (2 losses like Ole Miss and Oklahoma are just right out) besides say Florida State. Since so many of those 1 losses weren't good this week (Texas and FSU for example) I went the only unbeaten routes. From there it's wins first. Louisville has the best win on the season, Alabama has two likely quality wins and Ohio State did great against Oklahoma and so it kinda goes from there.
