Overall Rationale: My computer ranking! 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 playoff games. The link shows how each game is pushing a team's ranking up or down, including the impact of last season. Generally it is very punishing to teams who lost to a team ranked well below them.
