Don't really have much a clue on how to rank these teams to be honest, but I did drop VT a little after last night. Still, my biggest pet peeve with these is to be a slave to wins and losses. Michigan was destroyed by Alabama, sure, but would they be a better team if they beat the snot out of some cupcake? I don't care what happened last week - I care about the best team. Without a few weeks of data, for now this still has some guesswork in it - and most of the week one strugglers were dropped in some respect.
I will be skeptical of FSU until proven otherwise.
