[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 3083958, member: 72863"] Well, nobody moves the goalposts more than the typical fan. Start with result you want, and then work back from that. Might be best win one year, might be best/worst loss another, might be strength of schedule, might be point margin in another year. Pick the data point that best supports your team and that's the one you're gonna say is most important. Case in point, just look at the current rankings. Everyone says Oregon has to be ahead of Ohio State because they beat them. Same record, so there's just no way you can put Ohio State ahead of them, right? Just no way, no how. I mean, Oregon beat them. And that argument will be made from now until the end of the year as long as each of those teams has one loss. Fair enough, I don't have a problem with it. But 7 years ago, it was not only acceptable, but it was appropriate, that in the case of two teams that played each other and had the same record, for the losing team in that HTH matchup to be ranked ahead of the winner. See what I mean? [/QUOTE]
