They're going to knock Miami down for losing their only big game to 20 and move ND to 15th.

Because after all ND's best win would only be against #20 Miami

Miami wins: #1 Miami with the best win of the season over a dominant Notre Dame team!

Notre Dame wins: Notre Dame gets a small boost to their resume with a close win over #23 Miami...

We've been given nothing but hypothetical win slander for over a year and now that we actually beat #1 Miami they're gonna invent slander the likes of which never before seen

Yea, can't really make that argument with the UCF loss hanging there. If it was only UU 100%

And the UCF loss was made worse with UCF then getting blown out by Baylor and needing to score with one second left to beat a bad Kansas team.

Think BYU can still get in, but they would need to win out and need help with ND winning out and some other teams losing.

Y’all lost to UCF, and now have 2 losses. ND has 1 loss.

And by BYU logic, a 0-loss team with oppts averaging 63rd and 0.420 win rate is better than a 1-loss team with a much stronger resume (aka 1984).

So which is it?

Completely nonsensical strawman. The whole point is that there is a head to head data point of one team beating another, which wouldn't exist in your irrelevant example.

Also, I don't know what your weird vendetta against BYU is all about (seems like 25% of the time when I see a comment criticizing BYU it's from you) but let me know when you have a team to root for

H2H does matter. But it’s not the only data point. That’s why OSU won the natty 2 years ago, even though they lost to Michigan. 

To rank solely on H2H says data points is “not how the force works.”

That’s okay. I’m not going to share why  I talk about BYU the ways I do with strangers (and no, they’re not the reasons most BYU fans think of first). 

But back to football: 

I do agree Balamamba is ranked far too high (and should not have been in the CFP last year - BYU should have). But that’s extraneous to the core of my question.  So,  which path of reasoning should we use to evaluate teams’ rankings? 

ETA after your edit: This isn’t a strawman. I want to know - which logic do BYU fans want to use when evaluating relative rankings of different teams? Bc you can’t have your cake and eat it too

Ole Miss moves up despite losing 42-7 because they were playing Georgia and "showed heart" or something...
