The defense allowed two touchdowns on Notre Dame's first two drives, but then shut the Irish down for much of the second half.

The defense allowed a couple of big plays, but played better than the score looks. Miami's home game against Florida State will surely be tough and emotional. They also have to travel to BC, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech; the last one being a game that might decide the Coastal.

The preseason rankings are seeded by averaging the SBNation, Athlon, and CBS preseason rankings. Ties are broken in those initial rankings by the 5-year S&P+ rating. If that is not available then returning production is the next tie breaker. FCS teams, regardless of their own quality are considered as #131. This is a \"what have you done lately\" poll. Game conditions, major injuries, controversy, and/or other mitigating factors will be taken into account as appropriate.In season methodology:Higher ranked teams should beat lower ranked teams. Pretty simple.Margins are taken into account in as much as a much as the ranking difference should be reflected in the margin.\u251c\u00e9\u252c\u00e1Overall record and head-to-head are also important metrics.As the season goes on, resume will come into play as well.** Early on, teams may be over or under rated. Teams with fewer losses may be rated higher than teams with more. And you may not like it. I don't like it either. I'd rather start this later in September or early October. But the r/CFB poll also has a participation requirement. And I have a sometimes crazy life, thus I'm not going to burn all of my \"excused absences\" in the first three weeks. Fair warning, if you decide to @ me with your rage about a rating in September I'll probably just ignore it. **Example A:#6 Team A vs. #79 Team BTeam A wins by 8 points. Presuming the game was clean (no major injuries, severe weather, etc) then those original ranks were probably incorrect.Team A should probably move down, and Team B might move up or at least stay put.Example B:#10 Team A beats #29 Team B by 27 points at Team B.#9 Team C beats #35 Team D by 18 at home.Presuming A & C have the same record then A should move above C as A beat a higher ranked opponent by a larger margin on the road.Example C:** Again, early in the season, some 0-1/1-1 teams may be ranked higher than some 1-0/2-0 teams **#4 Team A loses by 6 to #5 Team B at a neutral site. Team A is 0-1, B is 1-0.#6 Team C beats #25 Team D at home by 50. C is 1-0.#7 Team E beats #105 Team F at home by 35. E is 1-0.I would probably rank these B, A, C, E. Yes A lost, but they played a better team away from home and the margin was small.Team C probably over-performed slightly, while E probably under-performed.

I can't find a solid way to remove it entirely, and will try to mitigate its impact. RULE 1: I'm looking at a mild W-L-T system where a tie is going to be considered \"effectively ties\" or other games to count for the record, but may not be rewarded as a total win. \"Effectively tied\" games are, for now, FCS games or games that go into OT regardless of win or loss. For example, PSU is not ranked this week, because they are 0-0-1 by this system. RULE 2 Since FCS teams are literally on a lower tier of playing field, I'm giving the assumption that they play on that level of skill, as opposed to FBS. As the season ends, I'll be re-evaluate the worthwhile FCS teams, and then give credit to those FBS teams for wins. For example, if JMU ends up being a top tier team again, as expected, NC State will receive a win rather than a tie. RULE 3 Early season is almost exclusively record.

His receivers did an incredible job to bail him out, and that should be good enough to get them to 4 wins before their two possible top 10 matchups.

I know people will take issue with me leaving Auburn behind them in the rankings, but I expect Washington to start a winning streak that will go 8 games into their match-up with Stanford, while Auburn has to survive another prove it game in week 3 against LSU. There is a very good chance that Washington doesn't lose again until the playoff and I'm just not comfortable letting a week 1 close loss knock them down just yet.

As with the Auburn-Washington game, I try not to overreact too much to week 1 ranked match-ups, but LSU looked ready to prove they're here to compete in the SEC. As for now, Georgia and Alabama are in a tier of their own while LSU and Auburn get ready for the week 3 slugfest in the Tiger tier.
