Not a huge deal. The AP isn’t the CFP, and the only one that matters is the CFP.

Mean much more than that. It’s how teams either hype or discount wins & losses

Teams can also make rapid rises early in the season as well. Don't be surprised if BYU can put three wins together in

Sure but easy to see a loss in there. Once out, tough to get in if didn’t start in.
