Overall Rationale: It's too early to truly tell anything yet. I try to balance two mindsets: a) don't be too reactionary... we don't know if a team just stumbled in week 1, the opponent was great/trash, they both suck/are great, etc. and then b) let the wins & losses speak for themselves... try not to let poll inertia dictate too much of the rankings. Those two things are kinda polar opposites but I'm doing my best over here
