High player rankings on Road to CFP

How the hell did the people in the top 10 on this mode get so many games built up already?  Were they on the beta team or something?  

I thought that EA didn't allow people to transfer game progress from prior to the games actual release. 

And don't tell me they just played the game a lot more since the realease date.  These idiots had incredibly large game numbers from the very first day.
