This is how we're voting on the D1A rankings.
Everyone who votes on the official D1A rankings ranks them 1 through 68. We do that too, but we're listing just 50 at the moment.
We did have a few lower-in-the-rankings matchups in which the higher-ranked team won, which was nice to see, but we saw the opposite, too. And there really weren't that many rankings upsets this week. Indiana over Ohio State was one.
