Overall Rationale: FIRST FIVE OUT: 26. Utah, 27. UNC, 28. Arkansas, 29. Florida St, 30. Kansas. There are two ideologies for polls. 1. Who would win in a theoretical matchup? and 2. Who has the best report card? This is a 100% computer poll following the latter idea. It is driven only on record and strength of schedule, so no pre-season bias. However, that means at the beginning of the season it is hard to know which losses are quality losses and which are bad losses because of everyone's short resume`, so teams will move a lot until week 6 where it will steady out. Because of this, teams who lose early are punished more harshly, but past weeks are recalculated every update. For example, a loss to Texas A&M looks worse as they continue to lose, but a win over Texas looks better as they continue to win.
