Overall Rationale: Week 1 was one where many of the teams that were ranked didn’t move much. There were a few teams that dropped like Utah and Notre Dame, but not enough where they can be dropped significantly hard. Oregon was the only team that dropped off my list due to their lackluster performance in Atlanta against Georgia. Teams like Florida, Florida State and showcased their wins in dramatic fashion and they were enough where they got ranked. Overall it was a good week for polls and saw some surprises this Labor Day Weekend.
