OK, I understand about adjusting the power ratings based on the
score of last weeks games, but where did these ratings come from
to begin with?  And is there consideration of who a team beats
when adjusting the ratings?  I would think being 20 points over the spread
against Nebraska means more than 20 points over the spread against Rice.
Explain to us how Nebraska can be number one and FSU number 13 when
FSU beat Nebraska this year.  Likewise why is Auburn number 11 and
Tennessee number 21?  Neither FSU or Tennessee has lost a game yet.
(Of course they haven't played Florida yet, either).
