Claiming a 7-6 team is a "top10 win" because they were ranked #7 in week 3 is bullshite. It was valid in week3, not after they went on to lose 5 more games.
Just depends on the context.
For example, LSU beat Texas in 2019 in what was a matchup of top ten teams. Texas then lost a ton of players to injuries in the subsequent weeks which led to them losing a bunch of games.
Your method completely discounts what was actually a very good win.

Claiming a coach inherited a certain amount of players a full month after he was hired instead of the day he was hired is not accurate and is bullshite
Not really, the team didn't really have anyone leave in that month. The team also technically had an interim head coach between the final game of the season and the bowl game.

I use the same methods every single time because they are the most accurate, not because they support my bias.
More accurate, in your opinion. There are obviously holes in either method, as with anything.
