to do so statistically. But at the end of the day it's an exercise in cherry-picking that 20 win stat instead of a looking at stats that reflect success (like the ones you mentioned).

In the scientific world there is statistical significance and clinical significance. A new drug may effectively treat a certain type of disease in a way that is statistically significantly, but if no one has that disease the drug is largely useless because it has no clinical significance. In like manner, 20 win seasons are statistically but not clinically significant. 20 wins in the WCC isn't on the same planet as 20 wins in the ACC.
