Poll inertia is not a good argument for ranking teams. The earlier poll is not binding in any way, and is not a basis for continuing to rank teams.
"Hey, we have this terrible precedent. Let's be sure to carry it over to our new system!"
I agree with this 100%, which is why I understood the Committee dropping FSU in previous weeks, despite the fact that they were the defending national champions and undefeated. If the Committee had done things the old way, FSU would have gone into the weekend ranked #1. However, teams should have to actually do something to overcome poll inertia, which Ohio State did and FSU didn't. The Committee basically reverted to the old way retroactively with FSU.

Committee got it right. Big 12 deserved what it got for not having clearly defined a champ.
No way Texas or OU would have been bypassed if it had been them instead of TCU.
On a neutral field, TCU beats Ohio State by double digits.
