Overall Rationale: 1-10 or 11 I feel strongly about as playoff teams, ranking is less important at this stage.
At about Bama at 12 down to 18 or so, is like "teams that are good, fringe playoff caliber run" teams, but do a lot of dumb stuff that makes me nervous even when they win.
Bottom of the rankings are a mix of rewarding teams that are improving despite maybe an early setback at the start of the season, but are building strong resumes.
