When Comparing Teams, Which Should Weigh More?

Who you beat obviously, unless I was a fan of a team where this didn’t benefit me, then I would say the opposite

Whatever benefits my team most and gets them in the playoff

It's relaly difficult to pick one over the other. I think they're equally importnat when putting together an overall resume.

You could have a team that has a couple really quality losses but has beaten NOBODY. You could also have a team that has some really high quality wins but has a few losses to some putrid bottom feeders. I don't know if one tells us more than the other.

Whichever scenario makes you happier, OP

It's just not who but when. I think bad losses can be absorbed if early (see Ole Miss), if followed by a quality win late that affirms improvement.

That is literally what your team did to start the season and prop themselves up as some high powered offense coming into SEC play.

The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:

Strength of schedule

Head-to-head competition

Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)

and other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.

Curious how much they will lean on head to head because if Georgia beats TN they clearly have the better resume than Ole Miss but Ole Miss did pound them head to head.
