Weird how on one side of this hypothetical one team is actually undefeated while the others still have losses

Did they forget the Baylor game?

By my count, BYU would be 10-10 in our last 20 games against Utah if we did the same thing.

Interesting- 23 BYU's record would have been 6-6 with two wins over ranked teams

So if BYU wouldn’t have won, they would have lost. Got it.

Flipping all of them is dumb

Well sure, if you switch all the winners to losers, things look different.

It's an intersting thought, sure. But sort of meaningless. Good teams figure out

That sports writer doesn’t get it. Look at us last year - flip our 1 score games

I'm tired of excuses why this undefeated team isn't a real undefeated team

Lots of parity in the league. It's fun. Big10 is a snooze fest. Some bad teams.

and if you flip all our W's to L's... we'd be 0-9. What's the point?

I think the point is pointing out which teams have had a lot of close win/loss
