You said your mind was boggled and was just trying to help out. That’s how “these” rankings work, which will become meaningless once the real rankings come out
It’s so hard to predict teams especially with the transfer portal and younger players starting more often, so while they have been moving up fast have to put in more work to get the top slots.
But we must be careful not to overreact, they didn’t go to Georgia and win by five touchdowns or anything. One bad bounce and Wyoming could have slapped an L on Texas
