...that simplified assessment presupposes that each week’s rankings are drawn up from scratch and not a modification of those which came a week before. If Harvard had begun the season in the top 15, then turned in exactly the same 5-3-1 record it has thus far, there is little reason to believe the Crimson would not have held even or even improved its standing in the polls...

(In fact, they just announced a new deal with Atlantic, so you can scratch the indie label entirely.) The Postal Service project was hyped from the outset and a prepackaged audience greeted the LP at its release. Some of the songs were so good that they began to make the rounds in dorm rooms and on soundtracks (witness Iron and Wine?...
