Power Rankings Top 25 after week 1

Reminder - this is a power ranking, not a poll. This is a jumbled mess right now due to the large number of teams playing FCS teams in week 1. Alabama is where they are because they beat the #8 preseason team. UCLA beat #16 Tennessee. Things will even out over the course of the next couple of weeks. Clemson comes in at #83.

In week 1 what this boils down to is who beat the highest ranked teams. This process will build on itself each week and "average out" over the course of the season. In other words, Bowling Green might win every game they play and not remain number 5 because of their strength of schedule.


Note: Teams that have not played a game are not ranked.
