this for some disclaimers about applying APR to the NCAA.
This is using a new margin power function (different from the function used for NFL games). This means that the power values are not comparable to the ones posted last year.
Official rankings will be added after they are published.

Comments:
Iowa gets another close home win against a lesser-ranked team, and again pays the price (not as much as if they had lost, of course).
Florida gets a solid road win over a high-ranked opponent, and they get their highest ranking as a result.
Should Arkansas be #4? They looked a lot more like a ranked team than Auburn for the part of that game I saw.
Arizona managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in dramatic fashion Saturday. Arizona lead for most of the second half, and were leading by 12 with 4:15 left in the 4th quarter. But they let Washington drive for a touchdown, and gave up a pick-6 on the first play of the following drive.
Navy, Idaho and Central Michigan? Really? Seriously, these teams haven't beaten anybody
