Pretty, pretty, pretty good start to the 2016 college football season, huh?

What was billed by many as the best opening week of competition ever didn't fail to live up to the hype, with great games from the Thursday openers to Monday's finale. Along the way, seven teams ranked in the Bleacher Report Top 25 lost, which means our first regular-season poll is going to look a lot different.

The Bleacher Report poll is voted on by 19 members of our college football staff: writers Ben Axelrod, Greg Couch, Tyler Donohue, Ed Feng, David Kenyon, Sanjay Kirpalani, Adam Kramer, Brian Pedersen, David Regimbal, Barrett Sallee, Damon Sayles, Brad Shepard, Greg Wallace and Christopher Walsh; video staff Michael Felder and Sean McManus; and editors Eric Bowman, Hunter Mandel and Eric Yates.

First-place votes are worth 25 points, with each subsequent vote worth one fewer point all the way down to one for 25th place. The 25 teams with the most poll points make our list, with the rest falling into the "others receiving votes" category.

Check out where everyone stands after one week of play, but remember there's still a long way to go.
