The computer rankings are predicated on preseason evaluations. Its always interesting when people use "but computers" and fail to acknowledge the issue of preseason evaluations and their long term effect on the rankings as the season progresses.
The preseason rankings are phased out week by week and are completely gone by Week 6. At this point all the computers are using are 2014 results and data.
I'm certainly not claiming the computers to be the end all be all, but I do find it interesting that all of them that are independent of eachother seem to be coming back with pretty consistent results when it comes to the SEC.

They most definitely have a lasting effect on SOS, beyond the arbitrary 6 week mark you presented.
