What matters more, wins or losses? That's the beauty of every other sport, wins matter.


Wins matter more now than what happened the first three weeks of the season at this point in the game. That’s why the committee waits to rank until now. If you don’t have quality wins, you end up ranked like Oklahoma and UTSA. The committee is smart enough to realize that State has lost 3 games by a combined 8 points, though they aren’t very good losses. But it’s clear that they view Oklahoma as a 9-1 team that could easily be 7-3 or 6-4, as opposed to State who is 6-4 but they can clearly see how close they are to 9-1. That’s the difference.

You're using hypotheticals which do not matter. The results on the field matter.

I could make that same argument for Kansas State, a 7-3 team sitting outside the top 25 behind 6-4 Mississippi State, that Memphis loss is irrelevant it seems.
