The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.

Are there going to be CFB games that extend this far out each weekend?

No, it's a "week before the NFL starts" deal. There are weeks where there are games on weird days (like Tuesday and Weds.) though.

Here is my week 1 poll. Before scoffing at BYU at #5, ask yourself if polls should be a reflection of the games played so far, and not an expectation of what will happen the rest of the year. And then ask yourself if those teams that you were going to rank ahead of BYU have had more impressive performances on the field so far. 
I believe that polls early in the season should have a lot of volatility, and very little evidence of cognitive dissonance from the voters. In my poll I dropped Iowa and Oregon completely, and rewarded BYU, Oklahoma State, and Miami for beating good teams.

I move teams around quite a bit based on their performance (as opposed to say, people who keep teams where they are until they lose), so there was quite a bit of movement for me this week. Do I think BYU would beat us if we played tomorrow? Not necessarily, but then again they beat Oklahoma, and we barely squeaked past Navy, so I find it hard to keep them below us for some arbitrary reason. We'll vault if we win Saturday, of course. I gave Notre Dame their due based on how they looked Saturday after watching the game...they can really justify that ranking this Saturday. I fail to see how Boise State can be ranked high based on that performance Thursday...might as well have South Carolina in the top 10 too. Nice road wins by Miami and Cincinnati see them enter the fray.

BYU stays below Oklahoma until I can get a better idea of whether OK was just hurting because of the loss of Bradford and Gresham, or if BYU is really the real deal.
