If the polls were wrong in week 2, what guarantee is there that they're right in week 8. If the polls have any credibility, then of course the ranking at the time they played is what should matter. If ND goes in and beats the number 5 team in week 3, that's what they should get credit for. The victor shouldn't be penalized or held accountable for what happens to their opponent after they've been beaten. In other words SOS based on opinion polls is bs and shouldn't be a metric in the first place.

Liberty is an opportunity for doing good, but only when it is also an opportunity for doing wrong...

  - Was ND a better team on Oct 18th, 2014 when we were 6-0 and ranked #5, and Chrisb 10:56pm · 11/13/24
    - Exactly our attitude for that game was reflected in our achievement and obviously hit the shitter as THEISMANCARR 1:07am · 11/14/24
    - FSU underperformed in that game.NT iairishcheeks 11:37pm · 11/13/24
      - We certainly won the line of scrimmage and were the more physical team that night. NDinKentucky 12:12pm · 11/14/24
        
        You could say we overachieved or they underachieved. iairishcheeks 6:02pm · 11/14/24
      - That may be the biggest bullshit response ever posted on this board. Chrisb 7:33am · 11/14/24
        
        FSU was a lot better than ND in 2014, the records and stats prove it. iairishcheeks 7:44am · 11/14/24
      - That is a bullshit answer. If they underperformed it was because we performed well and we did not THEISMANCARR 1:15am · 11/14/24
        
        It was fools gold, at no point in 2014 were we the actual 5th best team in the country. iairishcheeks 6:53am · 11/14/24

        Early season rankings are a joke WoodstockIrish 8:10am · 11/14/24
        
        We agree, using early season rankings in any argument is a weak argument.NT iairishcheeks 8:12am · 11/14/24
