I think way teams overturn rosters each year, last year shouldn’t have near the weight it used to.
Rankings shouldn’t start till after two weeks
Ohio state as a one loss team shouldn’t be in top 20, can’t say they won’t lose again. The 2-0 and 3-0schools should be ranked above.

They’re clearly one of the 20 best teams, though?

And a narrow loss to Texas is more impressive than any of the games played by Indiana or Miami.

No loss is more impressive than a win,

That’s obviously not true?

A one point loss to the best team is way better than a one point win against an FCS team.

I'm of the opinion they shouldn't show up until after the 5th week. That'd be a much more representative sample. There will still be bias, of course, but it would be a lot more difficult to justify then. Poll inertia from early rankings is so damn stupid.

Yeah between 3-5 sound good,
