Always provides some talking points when you take the human bias out of things. Only 1 week of data, so there is a small sample size. I love to analyze these ratings. Where else can get you get a full ranking of all 125 FCS teams?

[clenz]

I love how UNI doesn't play but moved up two spots in the total ranking of it all

[UAalum72]

Albany at #10? Looks OK to me!

I'll like it better if we're still there in a month. For now, still not enough games played to matter.

NDSU

[JALMOND]

Portland State #49? Imagine where we'd be if we had a quarterback. Or a running back. Or someone to catch a pass. Or someone to block. Or someone to tackle. Or someone to cover. Or someone to rush. Or a kicker.

Wait a minute. Correction. We do have a kicker.

[SuperHornet]

Like the first AP poll, this is absolute nonsense. How the wrong end of 52-3 vs a decent Pac-10 beats out the wrong end of 52-17 vs a better Pac-10 is beyond me.

[skinny_uncle]

Interesting, but too early in the season to be significant.

[tampajag]

beat Delaware St and moved up 20 spots, that's rich

[JBB]

Definitely an analysis that deserves the utmost respect.

Lots of places. Massey is probably the best because it includes data from a number of both human polls and computer models.

Liberty at 35 isnt a bad spot but like has been said already its far too early

Neither the polls nor the computer models mean much until about the third game.
