Overall Rationale: These rankings are a pure resume based points system. Teams are assigned a tier based on their ranking (1-7). Points are gained for wins, subtracted for losses, based on the opponents tier. Small modifiers for game closeness (Win/Loss Bonuses/Penalties = WB, WP, LB, LP) and SOS based on Opponent's record. | If two teams are next to each other in the rankings, and have played head to head, the head to head winner will be ranked higher, regardless of points. | | | | Week 6 | Biggest Riser: Texas A&M (+26) | Biggest Drop: USC (-45) | New teams: Texas A&M, SMU, Washington, Notre Dame, Army, UL Monroe | Dropped from rankings: Tennessee (10), Missouri (14), Michigan (17), Duke (19), USC (22), James Madison (25) | Next 5: Liberty, San Jose State, James Madison, Ole Miss, Memphis | Worst Team Kennesaw State (-100.625 points) | | | | Playoff projections | | Rose: 2.
