The Mo Knows Rankings

Well, the first games have been played, and the Mo Knows Ranking system can be updated. Remember, this is about finding a ranking system that will get the best teams at the end of the season, not during. Also, a few reminders about the rules of the rankings:
1) You must be above .500 (so if you lost in week 1, you cannot get ranked until you return to 2-1)
2) You start this season where you ended last season
3) Your ranking cannot improve if you play a I-AA opponent (exception: Fresno State who played a I-AA team this weekend, was ranked #63, and is now #60, because the number of ranked teams dropped from 63 to 60)
4) You cannot win and drop in the polls (exception: on a week where the strength of schedule formula is included-after weeks 6, 10, and 14)

I will also post my top 25 after one week, with a recap of the weekend's action later on Tuesday.
