The longer the season goes on, FPI seems to be very accurate. I think ESPN put together a very good system in FPI.

But its a bit harder to take serious when there have been no games played.

Bingo. No system is perfect, but with more data points during the season, I agree it gets a lot better. Pre-season, I don't envision a scenario where any of these can be considered accurate.
