I really think we'll have a benchmark from the first 5 games

People who bother to pay attention will be able to see the full landscape by then. By then there'll be more than a few teams who are considered shocking success stories or shocking failures. Figuring out how ND bubbles up in all that shouldn't be so hard. It would be far more an anomaly to end up considering the first 5 opponents to be number 119-115 in the rankings than it would be to end up considering them pretty middling.
