Following are the Week 1 EFI Rankings. Early in the season, the ratings are volatile. They will settle down as the season progresses. These are the official EFI ratings. These are different from the predictive ratings. Because I am providing a weekly forecast, I see no need to continue to list the predictive ratings. The Week 2 Forecast will be posted soon.
