I'm not sure if BYU deserves to be #1, but it looks reasonable otherwise.

As conference games begin I am sure there will be movement in the rankings. There always is at the beginning of the season. Since BYU won the championship last year and they are 3-0 this year they should be #1.
It should be a fun season!

I think it is going to be between UCLA and BYU. BYU lost some players, so that is the only reason I think perhaps UCLA should have been ranked 1st instead. Someone else could sneak in there, but they'll have to get by them first.
I hope it is a good season!

I would guess the top 6 now will be the top 6 at the end although the order will change (possibly each week). Very even at the top.
Northridge gets Beach this week and Hawaii next so they will get tested quickly.

I was wondering what people thought of having a top 10 instead of a top 15. We might have gone over this in the past, but doesn't it look funny when you have a top 15 list and 2 teams have 0-3 records?
