Everyone counts "ranking at the time of the game" toward ranked wins but you only count "ranking at end of season" so it seems as if that argument is a bit hypocritical.
When you use time of game rankings it gives a false impression of team strength. It's only good for things like historical trivia. It is NOT a good way to show how good the team actually was for the year when used in arguments in that context.
I use end of the season rankings because it provides a more accurate picture of what happened.
Just like everyone includes their incoming classes in their scholarship counts because it provides a more accurate picture of their situation.
The only reason you would have an issue with either is because you want to claim bullshite.
Bragging about being #2 in something is on point for LSU.

So you basically pick and choose whether you want to use commonly accepted methods of data collection in your arguments but complain when others do the same thing.
Got it.
