Overall Rationale
What a week (especially weekend) of upsets! My first flair is ecstatic in football, not so much my second one. Sorry about the Kansas and Marquette conundrum last week, hopefully I didn't mess something like that up again this week. I am high on Baylor, North Carolina, Gonzaga, Marquette, Creighton, BYU, Kentucky, Colorado State, Oklahoma, and Northwestern. I am low on Purdue, Miami, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Wisconsin, and Tennessee. I do not want to rank any 3 loss team this early in the season, despite who they lost to.
