I still don't know why they even bother with rankings until week 6 of the season. A lot of mischief would be avoided if they'd quit doing pre-season rankings and allowing the coming weeks to be nothing more than standard confirmation bias crap.

They beat a solid team by 11 points and never trailed. That's not super impressive, but when teams above you lose, you're not going to drop out of the rankings because of it.
