Clemson Advances to #1 in Blue Football Through and Through Top 25

The early weeks show teams that have been the most impressive thus far, rather than ranking teams from a biased point of view.  Nevertheless, they will be volatile until the teams sort it out on the field.  The #1 factor in ranking teams is their Biggest Wins, losses are only damaging if they are to unranked teams.  This encourages teams to schedule other Top 25 teams.
