Overall Rationale: This computer poll is a purely resume-based system. A team's score is generated by considering the team's strength, the strength of their opponents (SOS), margins of victory in games, home field advantage, and defensive performance. Rankings are volatile earlier in the season and preseason rankings evaporate quickly.
