Florida St. above Miami? The games aren't just a piece of information to be considered - they are the point.
When teams have played only one game, it is indefensible to have the loser (at home) ranked above the winner.
I should ignore, then, what I thought about the teams going in? If you take that logic to its natural conclusion, I should throw out all preconceptions and rank the teams by margin of victory, and no losing teams should appear. Because, why should I throw out my preconceptions about FSU and Miami, but not, say, Western Kentucky and Tennessee? Somebody actually did that to make a point and it got spiked.
It's too early to go pure resume. I also, you might notice, kept BYU below Oklahoma.
