Overall Rationale: This is a 100% computer poll based solely on resume`. Historically it's real rough in the beginning (small resume`s), but by the time the CFP polls come out, it has learned who actually deserves to be ranked. **How it works** All 130 FBS teams start out tied. Each team is ranked "Best" (1 is the best, 130 is worst) and "Worst" (1 is worst, 130 is the best). If a team beats their opponent, the positive "Worst" rank is averaged into the team's points to determine the team's new rank. If a team loses to their opponent, the negative "Best" rank is averaged into the team's points to determine the team's new rank. So if #5 beats #7, Team #5 gets +124 (Team #7's positive "Worst" rank) points averaged into their score and Team #7 gets -5 (Teams #5's negative "Best" rank) averaged into their score. These values are dynamic, so a team's points change every week based on their wins and losses AND the wins and losses of each of their played opponents. So if #7 drops to #11 and #5 rises to #4, Team #5(4) will get +120 for that week and Team #7(11) will get -4 averaged in instead.
