Too extreme
It’s implied that in this example the two sample teams are in the same division. He would’ve specified (for example) “what’s better a 12-0 FCS team that’s beaten winless FCS schools or a winless FBS school that’s only lost to undefeated FBS schools.” If he doesn’t have to specify those types of details it’s implied that they play at the same division.
The best answer to OP’s question is “we don’t know”

Who's better at basketball, the guy who beat 12 4th graders by one or the guy who lost to 12 NBA players by one?

But why would you assume that the 12-0 teams are actually any good when you’re arguing that the 0-12 team is better?

No, there's not enough info. So that's why you look at other information, such as SOS, SOR, predictive metrics, etc.

That’s what I said. Not enough info to determine either way. That’s why you leave assumptions about who is “better” to

But based on the information we have, it's ok to make a choice. In reality, we will never have enough information
