Which is why computer formula's for things like this are completely ridiculous.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Let's say you have six games and Teams A plays 3 top 15 teams and then three bottom 80ish teams and Team B plays 1 top 15 team 4 top 50 teams and 1 bottom 80 team.

The averages probably work out in favor of Team B but Team A's path to winning all those games is much more challenging.

Not at all. Those six teams Team A played, under your scenario, could be 11, 14, 15, 76, 78, and 80, while Team B played 2, 16, 18, 19, 20, and 75. Team B has the stronger schedule. Team B is playing more games where there is a reasonable chance they could be upset. They are playing more games against teams that are physically stronger and take a greater physical toll on players.
