It is something you consider. But I'd say that the caliber of teams you've beaten is more important than how badly you beat them.



I agree with you, but in this case, if you're an objective voter, you would probably be considering BOTH whereas too many making Oklahoma State's case are trying to bracket off dominance of the wins as if that isn't something to consider at all.

This is exactly like claiming Alabama proponents want to only focus on losses. It's purposefully selecting certain elements of the resume while effacing others to make an argument.

It's understandable but it's certainly not objectively looking at "total body of work".

I am looking at both. And the advantage of Okie st beating more BCS top 25 teams, more teams with winning records, and winning their conference championship is more than enough to overcome the differences in how dominant each team was.
