You know this will cause an argument of ranked at the time vs ranked at the end


it shouldn't as ranked at the end of the season is a TRUE factor of how that team was.
i see these stats on teams all the time in that they beat 5 top 10 teams and I'm like huh? When you check it they beat one.

The counter to that is that if your team beats a ranked team, that other team's ranking will go down and be lower at the end of the season. It's like if Georgia hadn't have beaten Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU, all of those teams would've been ranked higher at the end of the season.

Mostly.

Sometimes you have a team that suffers a critical injury mid-season and the team they were at the beginning of the season could be significantly superior to the team at the end.

Those are outliers though.
