Overall Rationale: I make this poll by examining the resumes of all teams with 2 or fewer losses and all 3 loss P5 teams. I stack up each resume against another and try to rank accordingly. There is a consideration of how good I perceive a team and sometimes a team with a slightly worse resume is moved in front of another with a better resume based on perceived strength.Next 10: (26) USF, (27) Duke, (28) Miami, (29) Syracuse, (30) Wisconsin, (31) Houston, (32) Boston College, (33) Virginia Tech, (34) Penn State, (35) Iowa State).
