Submitted: Sept. 27, 2021, 4:17 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Computer ranking that rates based on current season achievement. It does not take into account any preseason rankings or predictive power. Rankings are still very fluid this early but are starting to take shape. Being undefeated this early still weighs very heavily at this point in the season but over the next few weeks, being undefeated will weigh less vs having 1 or 2 losses with very high quality wins.
