You just changed the question. You’re dishonest and you won’t even attempt to defend your position because you can’t. Pathetic

We shouldn’t be doing any current / final ranking reconciliation to begin with

One is based on feelings
The other is based on facts and logic

Because mid-season polls are inaccurate? I thought my position was pretty clear in the post you responded to.

Anyone with a brain could tell you BYU is not a better football team than every single SEC team, but if you're a believer in "ranking at the time the game was played", your opinion today, 10/24/2026, is that BYU is better than literally all 16 SEC football teams.

Both can be used depending on what you want to measure.

Why are you afraid to answer the question lol

Should Oregon get credit for beating the 2nd best team in the country last year?

Such a simple yes or no lol

Have you polled every human who’s watched college football to get your rankings properly?

Well. That’s exactly how the polls are determined lol

It’s amazing how confused you are here and also how scared you are to answer a simple yes or no question

Should Oregon get credit for the bearing the #2 team in the country?

You are correct that the current rankings are almost always a better measure, but what the rankings were at the time of the game can also be relevant.
