Overall Rationale: TheXComputer poll! Details on each team's ranking can be found here: https://storage.googleapis.com/thexcomputerpoll-central/Output.html This only takes into account wins and losses, margin of victory, quality of opponent, and gives extra weight to conference championship games and bowl games. The link shows how each game is pushing a team's ranking up or down, though for the first week that is not too informative.
