re: Why do people use rankings at the time a game was played vs current/final season ranking?

Biggest issue with it is it’s pointless. What good does retroactively grading wins do after the season and accomplishments are over with? It’s nonsensical and yes the polls are corrupt but the idea is still to put value measures and a filter on the upper crust of games during the season. It’s not unlike HS who uses power points only the selection committee would never allow an iron clad standard like that it’s still the same idea.

It's more than just that, though.
A lot of times guys are playing through stuff that affects performance. Sometimes people may not even know. So maybe week 2, X is phenomenal. Then week 6 the performance dips. It's not necessarily a matter of being wrong about X. It's that things are changing from one week to another, and you may not know why.
Yes, sometimes rankings are off based on preconceived ideas. But also, sometimes there is an overreaction by pollsters to a loss, whenever that may occur.
And there are other factors I was pointing at. Sometimes the morale of a team may go down toward the end of a season. That may have to do with an imminent coaching change, or a team not handling losses well. There are so many different factors that could affect a team. So it's not that a team is this fixed constant in the way that you're implying. That's what "process" is all about. It's in flux, and some teams change a lot during a season.

Lets look at the current rankings today- does anyone actually think BYU is the 2nd best team in the country? If you're on the the side of "ranking at the time the game is played", your opinion right now should be that BYU is unequivocally the second best college football team in the country. So for anyone arguing in favor of using rankings as of the time the game was played, is BYU the 2nd best team right now? Are they a better team than literally every single sec team?
If they’re not, why are they #2?

You’ve said this several times. Damn you’re such a badass for playing high school sports I’m sure.

Not several but I know you like to lie. Just obvious since you’re clueless about sports

It’s called reality. Sorry you have a hard time accepting it but that’s what losers do.

I know you have a 60IQ but try to understand that exceptions and outliers prove the rule, they don’t disprove the rule. Maybe out down the chips, close TikTok and go get your GED. That’s the best you can hope for but it’ll be an improvement.

But you still admit to thinking Oregon gets credit for beating a top 2 psu last year.
Which is insane lol

I don’t think anything, that’s how the game is recorded. You can throw your little fit about not liking it but it doesn’t change anything and your position on the topic is nonsensical.

No, explain the benefit of reinterpreting these games after the season is over?

It’s a simple question.
Should Oregon get credit for beating a top 2 psu team last year? Yes or no

Stop playing low IQ gotcha games and defend your position. I’ve defended mine thoroughly and in detail. You haven’t provided a single point to defend your position. What benefit does reinterpreting these games provide after the season is over?

This isn’t happening at all lol. It’s making more sense why you’re confused here the more you go.
Did Oregon beat the second best team in the country last year when they beat psu?
This is a really simple yes or no question lol
