re: AP Poll Week 2

I think it's fine, subject to my usual complaint about early season polls. Ideally, you'd have so much shuffling that by Weeks 3-5 you have what should have been your Week 1 poll, and you go from there. At that point you can start to factor in things like "well, we know this team is pretty good and we expect their resume to bear that out eventually." Doing that in Week 1 or 2 is stupid.

Hence, ND probably shouldn't be anywhere close to the top 10. I think teams like NC State should very likely drop out when their only resume item for a top 20 ranking is a 1 point win vs. ECU.
