It’s here! Football is back, baby, and we are here to tell you which teams are better than yours - unless your Oklahoma. We won’t burden you with the “how’s” or “why’s” of our ranking system, because we don’t have any rational explanation for how we do things. It’s arbitrary, just like every other publication’s ranking system, and that’s how we like it.
We’ll update each week based on less arbitrary inputs like wins and losses, opponents and score, until the season is concluded. At that point, we’ll just use the conference standings because everyone will have played everyone else and there really isn’t a better indicator of someone’s position relative to another’s than the actual results of play.
