While I could see preseason explanations for about half a dozen teams over them, the first week of football made it clear that there is 1 team to beat right now: Alabama.The offense was surprisingly decent against a dominant FSU defense. In particular their ball control was impressive, and while they might not have put up 24 without those FSU turnovers, they made it count when they needed. RB is deep, a reliable QB, fantastic O-line and what appears to be another great WR make them a team to be reckoned with. As the season goes on, I think the biggest question mark might be play calling. There were a handful of interesting decisions on 3rd down in the game, they only went 3-16 on 3rd down.

The best teams lose players and replace them immediately, rebuilding years don't exist for elite CFB programs. I think Michigan under Harbaugh is one of these programs, and the Florida game certainly supported that theory. Those looking just at the box score will miss out on the details. Without two pick 6's (one of them deflected), Michigan dominated. Well rounded passing and run game, solid oline, and a fantastic defense.

We have information. At this point we can loosely sort teams into buckets. The names and descriptions of these buckets will change to reflect how everyone's doing and where we are in the season.Buckets are as follows:Bucket 1 (Likely Playoff Teams) [1-6]These teams distinguished themselves as meeting the preseason hype. They're not perfect (Washington struggled against Rutgers, Ohio State struggled against Indiana) and there are even two Big 12 teams, but if the season ended today I would feel comfortable putting any of these 6 teams in a playoff and knowing the winner could probably beat any one of the other 122 other schools a majority of the time.\u251c\u00e2\u252c\u00e9\u251c\u00e9\u252c\u00e1Bucket 2 (Teams with reasonable expectations to win their conference) [7-14]Everyone on this list had a good showing this weekend, some even beat some other good teams. Everyone here could wind up in the playoffs, or lose 11 more games. It's too early to tell, but they looked the part in week 1.Bucket 3 (Teams who can beat teams in Bucket 1) [15-20]These are teams with star players, deep rosters, and/or recent strong showings. Everyone in this group has a shot to knock off the teams above them to make their way into the playoff. Some of these schools would be higher if they didn't disappoint against potentially weaker competition this weekend. (USC, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Louisville)Bucket 4 (Congratulations! You Won!) [21-81]81 FBS teams have won all of their games so far, so they all have a shot. So we'll give honorable mentions for teams who did something exciting this weekend for 21-25.Bucket 5 (Houston) [82]Haven't played a game, due to horrible circumstances. I can't help but believe this will bring them together as a team and potentially win them a few additional games.Bucket 6 (UTSA) [83]I don't think you would beat Houston, but you haven't lost so you get your own special place this week.Bucket 7 (You're not a winner) [84-128]Some of you won some games. But this early in the season I can't put you with everyone else. West Virginia looked good and will probably jump up several buckets over the course of the season, but it's early, and I have to draw lines somewhere.

I'm not one to punish a team for winning an \"ugly game\" unless it's an absolutely horrendous performance (i.e. Auburn - Jacksonville State or Georgia - Nicolls State). With all of that said, I lowered the rankings of some teams that won their games in week one. This is mostly because I was uncomfortable with parts of my ballot after I submitted it. Sure, teams like USC didn't perform up to expectations but I've already covered that there are many factors that could be affecting that. The real reason I'm dropping a few of victorious teams is that I was uncomfortable with ranking them that high in the first place.

My one regret from last week is that I had to pick more than 23 teams. The Top 23 went 21-2 last week, with both losses coming against other Top 23 teams. Among that group, the only significant movements were FSU dropping after Deondre Francois' injury, fallout from the Florida-Michigan game, and a Tennessee plummet following their wholly unconvincing performance against Georgia Tech. Every other team either struggled or blew out a cupcake, providing me with little basis for making real movements. Starting in about two weeks, I expect my rankings to become more volatile until around late October. The bottom two spots proved to be a revolving door, as both Texas and UNC struggled much more than expected in opening day losses. Notre Dame and Oregon get the nod for now on the basis of strong metrics but I am really uncertain about both teams. I predict that there will be a lot of fluidity this year in the Top 25 bubble.", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 34, "handle": "ohiostate", "name": "Ohio State Buckeyes" }, "rationale": "By halftime of their Thursday night game against the Hoosiers, I had already mentally relegated the Buckeyes to the bottom part of the Top 5.

Those honors go to my Heisman favorite, Baker Mayfield, who played a flawless first half. Any ranked team should be expected to put up great numbers against UTEP, so the Sooners were not going to move into the Top 2 unless they broke Georgia Tech's single-game scoring record; however, they are a very solid #3 for right now.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals held Jeff Brohm's high-powered attack to 344 yards of total offense. Purdue has talent on that side of the ball and Coach Brohm will utilize it much better than his predecessor did.

First of all, don't even look at my preseason poll - no, stop it, I see you mousing over that drop down list up there and I don't appreciate it in the slightest. I've completely revamped the approach I took to talent and returning production between then and now. Some of this is going to seem like I'm way overreacting to Week 1, but in reality I've just been tossing everything out of the window, like a burglar with a trampoline. See, I'm trying quite hard to ignore the media narratives and create a relatively unbiased foundation of A. returning production (based heavily on Bill Connelly's offseason calculations on the matter), B. the 2017 247 talent composite - not necessarily the rankings but the actual three-digit (well, hopefully three-digit) score that the team is given, C. how experienced their QB is, and D. whether a coach can potentially count on a year 2 boost (something also examined by Bill Connelly, it's a common effect). This is different from last week, where I had a similar idea but did some odd things in analyzing the numbers (this week is different, because I've got a veritable cornucopia of brand-new oddness on display). The problem with this poll is that I've heaped on a steaming helping of E. the on-field performances from Week 1. Considering that the wins for many of the teams that I'm looking at amount to all of \"look ma I showed up,\" this has proven quite difficult. I've further unnecessarily complicated this by refusing to place any teams that are 0-1, which is to say about half of them (though hopefully less than half of the good ones). As I said earlier, I'm trying not to let the preseason narratives bias my opinions, and that involves being pretty resume-based, or as resume-based as I can be knowing what we know about these teams right now. Note that this does not at all mean that I will rank every team in nice little tiers of undefeated, then one-loss, then two-loss and so on going forward in the season - technically Colorado State is 1-1, but there is no world in which I would rank them before Florida State, and that will work itself out in the coming weeks. It just means that I'm trying to treat this as \"which teams \"deserve\" to be ranked right now?\" Of course, I still have to devote a lot of emphasis to talent and experience in the process, because how am I supposed to know whether Penn State or Clemson more impressively beat up their hapless Ohioan victims of choice? The resulting poll is a great deal of meaningless nothing, an odd Brunswick stew of hot takes and seeming overreactions and various emotional impulses, one that doesn't quite taste good or bad but certainly doesn't taste right.

Their defensive line looks incredible - it did not pass me by that Indiana completely gave up on running the ball at some point - and their defense seemed to crack down on Indiana's passing game eventually, perhaps because Indiana completely gave up on running the ball at some point. I feel that J.T. Barrett leaves a lot to be desired, but they did pull off a bit of an Alabama effect as the game wore on, ultimately pounding away with the run game either because of fatigue or halftime adjustments or both. And I do think that Indiana will have a surprisingly strong defense this year, just looking at their experience. To summarize, I wasn't overly impressed with the Buckeyes, but they were playing on Thursday night and they had the common decency to play a team whose best quality is not \"it could be worse, we could be FCS\" or \"it could be worse, we could be Division II.\" Combine that with their talent and experience and I have a hard time seeing how anybody else deserves this spot." }, { "rank": 3, "team": { "id": 45, "handle": "stanford", "name": "Stanford Cardinal" }, "rationale": "I realize that you're probably wondering if I confused Rice with a better Texas team, like - well - look, are we sure Rice isn't the best team in Texas right now?

The truth is, Stanford is talented and experienced and I trust David Shaw quite a bit, but I didn't realize just how well their overall talent and experience sets them up until recently. Their offensive line may be suspect, but I think the team is better than most people are feeling (and that's saying something, because many people are reasonably high on them). I may be trying a little too hard for a \"here's a team that's different!\" pick, it's just one of those gut feelings that I'm banking on.

The other thing I took away is that every time Trace McSorley gets the chance to set up in the pocket for a deep ball, all I can think of is in the Dark Knight Rises when Batman shows back up and that one grizzled veteran officer tells the uppity rookie that he's in for a show tonight. (I realize that scene is originally from The Dark Knight Returns, but I don't really like that comic and this poll is about my controversial and misguided opinions on college football, not comic books, thank you very much).

No, seriously. Go through the 247 composite recruiting rankings, back through 1999 or whenever it was that the first rankings were posted on that website. Wisconsin posted one top-25 class in that ~20 year stretch. It was 2001. Wisconsin has missed a bowl once in the same period. It was 2001. Wisconsin has lost to Minnesota twice in that same period. One was 2001, and the other was 2003, when that top-25 class was maturing into the backbone of the team. In summary, Wisconsin panics when it has too much talent.

I didn't watch all that much of their game against Jackson State, but I got the feeling that this was just an extremely fast team on both sides of the ball, and given that Texas just gave up 51 points to Maryland, it's almost certainly going to come down to TCU or Oklahoma for best defense in the Big 12." }, { "rank": 13, "team": { "id": 53, "handle": "auburn", "name": "Auburn Tigers" }, "rationale": "Auburn's offense didn't look spectacular in week 1, but it's week 1.

Even the little league teams. Especially the little league teams. There are reasons Georgia isn't reaching these near-apocalyptic expectations, however.
