re: SEC coaches records vs final AP top 25 teams

That's pretty dumb logic IMO. So weeks 1-12 don't matter then?

Preseason rankings determine a lot of things and they are usually very wrong. A team that starts out #25 can sometimes be #8 by week 4 and then the real season starts and they lose multiple games. There’s also almost always a top 10 team preseason that is completely off the wall and don’t finish ranked. (A&M in 2022, LSU in 2020, etc)

So yeah end of year matters way more.
