Q: Glenn

Hey guys,
how does the rankings system work for college. I understand there are votes and stuff but is it more complicated than that?

Vanderbilt are 6-0 (on Nov. 30th) but not ranked in the top 25 and others have lesser records but seemed to be ranked higher.

Could you clear this up?

Cheers
Glenn
