What it boils down to is the AP needs to stop releasing weekly polls.

They should follow this format:

Release their annual preseason poll like normal.

Release an updated poll after week 4, since a good number of nonconference games are played in the first 4 weeks.

Release an updated poll after conference championship games.

Release final poll after bowl season.
