A better question to me is this: As a fan, would you get more satisfaction out of beating a weak rival(you naturally assume a win), or a team that is highly ranked and very strong. I think the answer is obvious if your team wins both and is also obvious if your team loses to both.

No, the better question is does beating a strong team offset losing to a weak one?
I remember the ecstasy of beating UF in '97 quickly followed by the agony of losing to Mississippi the next week.
There are teams I want to beat more than other teams and there are teams I don't want to lose to more than other teams.
I'd be hard pressed choosing between beating A&M and losing to Bama or Beating Bama and losing to A&M next season.

Highly ranked and very strong (in comparison).
Especially when you do it with only 2 completions.
