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.
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.

Got it.
Claiming a 7-6 team is a "top10 win" because they were ranked #7 in week 3 is bullshite. It was valid in week3, not after they went on to lose 5 more games.
Not counting the incoming class when counting the number of scholarship players you have is also not accurate and is thus bullshite.
Claiming a coach inherited a certain amount of players a full month after he was hired instead of the day he was hired is not accurate and is bullshite.
If you need bullshite stats to make your claims, then your claims are likely bullshite as well. It's not my fault you just want to pick and choose whatever method or stat you can find to support your existing bias.
I use the same methods every single time because they are the most accurate, not because they support my bias.
And the fricked up part is, you can just say only 73 scholarships and it's perfectly fine. That's still down 12.
