So your argument is that if Oregon had lost to Wisconsin last week they would
have dropped out of the top 12?

They didn’t so I have no issue with them remaining #1. I don’t even have a large issue with where the other 1-loss B1G teams are currently ranked but teams are not treated equally based on resume.

I’m sure you’ve seen this:

Team A: 9-1, No. 13 strength of record, best win vs. SP+ No. 12, loss to SP+ No. 84, 3 wins vs. bowl-eligible Power 4 teams

Team B: 9-1, No. 15 strength of record, best win vs. SP+ No. 46, loss to SP+ No. 5, 0 wins vs. bowl-eligible Power 4 teams

Team C: 9-1, No. 9 strength of record, best win vs. SP+ No. 22, loss to SP+ No. 55, 2 wins vs. bowl-eligible Power 4 teams

Team D: 9-1, No. 8 strength of record, best win vs. SP+ No. 13, loss to SP+ No. 42, 3 wins vs. bowl-eligible Power 4 teams

They're all in roughly the same demographic, sure, but if you're splitting hairs, it's hard not to split them in Team D's direction, right?
