You rank the best teams, not the best resumes
I understand what you’re saying but that’s extremely subjective while ranking resumes is less subjective
Resumes change week to week...nothing more lazy is when voters or posters use the preseason or early season rankings to justify.
Clemson-LSU is a Prime example. Voters putting LSU at #1 or #2 , hanging their hat on...."LSU beat #4 Clemson!" Ahh, not so fast....the next week Clemson proved they were a paper Tiger, fool's gold, egregiously wrong early ranking....
LSU didn't beat a Top 10 team to have on their Resume all year, set in stone at the time they played....but a Clemson team falling and its where they end up that matters. Voters need to readjust their rankings to accurately reflect how a team's,opponents play down the road, not where they were erroneously ranked when they played.

It doesn’t change the hype and how big we thought that game was though

There was another pollster, a man, who had notre dame unranked following their loss to Miami
