PJ Poll - Week One

Pittsburgh Jones Poll - The purpose of the Pittsburgh Jones Poll (PJ Poll) is to provide a more coherent explanation of the journey to college football's national championship than that offered by the AP Poll and the BCS Rankings.

The PJ Poll takes all 120 Division I football programs and ranks the teams that have not lost a game. After the first week, there are 79 teams left in the PJ Poll.

The teams are ranked in terms of quality and that ranking is further adjusted in terms of strength of conference and schedule. Teams will be removed from the PJ Poll when they lose their first game. The top two teams in the PJ Poll are projected to play each other for the National Championship.

In subsequent weeks, I will detail the relationships between power and non-power conferences and how that will affect the National Championship game. For Week One, the PJ Poll will rank the 79 Division I teams with a shot at the national championship game.
