An early loss out of conference to a Top 10 doesn't really hurt you.
Imagine this scenario, TEAM A losses by 7 the first week of the season to #4 ranked team in the nation. (TEAM opponent goes on and wins their respected conference 11-1) SEC record 6-2 Overall record 9-3. (8 TV games)
TEAM B beats New Mexico St. University the first week of the season by 42. (New Mexico ST finishes 7-5) SEC record 6-2 Overall record 10-2 (7 TV games)
In my opinion TEAM A is more appealing to the Bowls b/c of body of work. Bowls want teams that travel well and have good TV ratings

Had Bama lost to UM, it would have kept them out of the BCSCG. Also, had you lost to ORegon in 2011, they would have prob gone to the BCSCG that year over yall with the same record...or OSU would have. You never really know.

Then their body of work is irrelevant.
