Overall Rationale: A solely performance based metric, no FCS games. No prior information fed in, only what's happened on the field up to this date. Where's Georgia? They ain't played nobody yet. Where's Michigan, same thing. The computed strength of teams played factors heavily as well as the number of FBS teams played this early in the season.
