Depends on what rankings you use. Here you are using the rankings when the game was played, but typically you should go by the rankings at the end of the season.
I always go by rankings at the time the game was played. There may be a reason a tesm drops in the rankings —- injuries, etc. Also, if a team was #8 when we played them and dropped to #12 after we won it makes no sense to claim we beat #12, especially since if and how much they drop is somewhat arbitrary.

So to you Alabama beat a top 3 team in FSU even tho they finished 6-6
ETA The flip side is 2 years ago Michigan beat PSU early and they were unranked but PSU finished #5 but according it you that doesn’t count as a ranked win for Michigan

What was the #8 ranking for Miami based on? How exactly are preseason polls not arbitrary?
This season is going on, but when it comes time to judge for playoff rankings and true SOS they will and should use the end of season rankings those are based on how the teams did during the season
