Fresno State Jumps Into Top 25 in Blue Football Through and Through Top 25 College Football Ranking

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 most damaging if they are to unranked teams.  This encourages teams to schedule other Top 25 teams.

Washington took a tumble after beating an FCS team and also because the win over Boise State doesn't look as impressive.  Clemson's win over Georgia is still the biggest win of the season.
