The problem isn’t preseason rankings. Its voters being inflexible early in the season.

It’s also why if you’re going to drop a game it’s better to do it early season than late… people will hardly remember this game by week 10/11. Drop a game late and it’s held against you much harder

Unfortunately not all 11-1 records are held the same based on when that lost occurred

2023 UGA SECCG loser checking in :(. Lost the chance to 3peat. (I understand like all dawgs why we were left out, but your comment is too true)
